C.S. Lewis And The Transcendence Of Irony, Roland M. Kawano

Mythlore: A Journal of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Mythopoeic Literature

Takes off from H.L. Weatherby’s study of Lewis’s and Eliot’s relations to medieval literature, in suggesting that Lewis’s response to the modern gap between idea and image is to transcend irony in his own work. Discusses four aspects of Lewis: “the doctrine of stock responses, the reaction of Lewis to the doctrine of the unchanging human heart, the impersonal theory, and his experiment with various ways of reading."
