Enchanting Luna And Militant Mars: The Shorter Planetary Fiction Of C.S. Lewis, Bruce R. Johnson
Enchanting Luna And Militant Mars: The Shorter Planetary Fiction Of C.S. Lewis, Bruce R. Johnson
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
As the debate surrounding Ward’s theory continues—all the more so with the recent release of a book version of The Narnia Code—a reexamination of Lewis’ shorter planetary fiction seems in order. In his lunar tale, “Forms of Things Unknown,” and in his Martian story, “Ministering Angels,” what aspects of the older cosmological model can be discerned? Are they in keeping with what Ward claims are the essences of Luna and Mars, as Lewis understood them? And what, if any, theological points may Lewis be making in these two tales? The present study will address each of these three issues. It …
C.S. Lewis, Public Intellectual, Samuel Joeckel
C.S. Lewis, Public Intellectual, Samuel Joeckel
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
Despite such hints and evocations, it appears that no one has attempted a systematic analysis of Lewis as a public intellectual. That is, no one has methodically employed extant theories on the concept of the public intellectual to assess how (or even whether) he fits the bill. No one has used these theories as an interpretive lens for analyzing Lewis’ writings. No one has analyzed the historical conditions during Lewis’ lifetime that pushed him into the role of public intellectual. No one has explored how Lewis adheres to the conventions of public discourse, the language of the public intellectual. And …
Adventures Dipped In Myth: The Voyage Of The 'Dawn Treader' As Quest Saga, D. G. Kehl
Adventures Dipped In Myth: The Voyage Of The 'Dawn Treader' As Quest Saga, D. G. Kehl
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
"No works of Lewis deal with the quest motif more extensively, consistently, and significantly than The Chronicles of Narnia (1950–6)....It is The Voyage of the ‘Dawn Treader,’ however, which perhaps best exemplifies the quest motif and which itself constitutes a quest saga."

Why Father Christmas Appears In Narnia, P. H. Brazier
Why Father Christmas Appears In Narnia, P. H. Brazier
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
"Though Lewis did not explain the presence of Father Christmas in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, given his methodology of “supposal” it is reasonable to formulate an explanation in these terms, rather than seeking allegorical coincidences; clearly, in the context of the internal coherence within the story, this explanation makes a certain sense. Father Christmas’ presence in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe may at first generate confusion and skepticism from those who fail to see that he is a “gift-bearer” sent by Aslan. In Platonic terms, however, he is ultimately a gift-bearer sent by God, Aslan’s …
The Lore Of Wood And Stone: Magic In The Chronicles Of Narnia And The Lord Of The Rings, Louis Markos
The Lore Of Wood And Stone: Magic In The Chronicles Of Narnia And The Lord Of The Rings, Louis Markos
Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal
Lewis and Tolkien were apologists for magic in an age where the lore of wood and stone had all but been crushed between two opposing forces: secular technologies that seek to conquer nature and force it to serve the whims of man, and Christian churches that see in magic only the evil sorcery of Simon Magus and the Witch of Endor. In The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings, modern readers are presented with a different incantation: a magic that shatters the anti-humanistic side of technology while affirming the deep and abiding creativity of the Triune God.

No Mere Materialism: The Revelatory Nature Of Death In C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, Laurel Wood
No Mere Materialism: The Revelatory Nature Of Death In C.S. Lewis's Space Trilogy, Laurel Wood
Global Tides
This paper explores the role which death plays in the narrative of C.S. Lewis’s Space Trilogy. During the time of the trilogy’s composition, materialist philosophy was becoming increasingly popular in the Western world as individuals looked to science as the source of absolute truth. As a former materialist, Lewis was alarmed by this development and confronted materialist ideology in numerous fiction and non-fiction works.
Blending textual evidence from the trilogy with scholarly commentary, this paper demonstrates that Lewis uses death, particularly the fear of annihilation and the afterlife which it evokes, to bypass materialist assertions of the atheistic nature of …

Confessions Of Crooks: An Analysis Of How Art Influences Society's View On Antiheroes And Redemption Through An Original Short Story Collection, Connor Thomas Wilkerson
Confessions Of Crooks: An Analysis Of How Art Influences Society's View On Antiheroes And Redemption Through An Original Short Story Collection, Connor Thomas Wilkerson
Undergraduate Theses
The twenty-first century has successfully bred the notion that everyone who commits a morally reprehensible action is themselves a morally reprehensible individual with absolutely no redeeming factors. This notion, however, simply isn’t accurate as it is shown in not only some of the most popular media of the age but also some of the most famous crimes of the age that people who commit heinous actions aren’t always entirely heinous. With this thesis, I plan to make an argument that condemns judgement on the morality of individuals without knowing their full stories. Specifically, I plan to write a short story …
The Enigmatic Self: An Ongoing Exploration Of Literary Selfhood From The American Renaissance To Contemporary Young Adult Literature, Helene Leichter
The Enigmatic Self: An Ongoing Exploration Of Literary Selfhood From The American Renaissance To Contemporary Young Adult Literature, Helene Leichter
Honors Theses
Assuming the near impossible task of sorting through and delineating various conceptions of the self in and throughout literary and civil history, literary critic Irving Howe adopts a highly perceptive and profoundly analytical approach to the enigmatic individual. In the article quoted above, "The Self in Literature," Howe consolidates what he believes to be the most promising attempts at coding and decoding abstractions of the self across numerous literary, philosophical, and sociological texts. The success of Howe’s analysis lies in his ability to simultaneously embrace and scrutinize seemingly incompatible notions of bodily and spiritual discourse. With the knowledge that such …
Reflections: A Meditation On Ballet And Pain, Claire Madeline Silverman
Reflections: A Meditation On Ballet And Pain, Claire Madeline Silverman
Honors Theses
The defining details of the character of Giselle are that she loves to dance even though she knows it could kill her (for she has a frail heart), and that she is in love with a peasant boy named Loys, though she knows her mother dislikes him. She is defiant, determined to follow her desires.
Giselle wasn’t one of the ballets that stuck out to me when I was younger. I loved the Tchaikovsky ballets — Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker — and later Romeo and Juliet (Macmillan’s version) became my favorite. Giselle existed at my periphery. It’s …
