“Further Up And Further In”: Roads, Pilgrim’S Regress And Sehnsucht On Earth And In Heaven, Lauren Spohn May 2023

“Further Up And Further In”: Roads, Pilgrim’S Regress And Sehnsucht On Earth And In Heaven, Lauren Spohn

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

First, in his 1933 allegory The Pilgrim’s Regress and, later, in his 1955 autobiography Surprised by Joy, C. S. Lewis described his conversion to Christianity as a journey guided by the search for what he called “Joy.” In the 1943 foreword to Regress, Lewis defines this feeling as an “intense longing” that “pierces us like a rapier”; later in Surprised by Joy, he calls it a desire of “almost sickening intensity,” best captured by the German word Sehnsucht. David Downing offers a helpful formulation of this “Sweet Desire” as “the blissful ache for some paradise out of reach,” which acts …

C. S. Lewis’S “Transposition”: Text And Context, Arend Smilde May 2023

C. S. Lewis’S “Transposition”: Text And Context, Arend Smilde

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

“Transposition” was originally a sermon for Whitsunday (Pentecost), preached in the chapel of Mansfield College, Oxford, around the end of the Second World War. Taking his cue from the miraculous “speaking in tongues” described in Acts 2, Lewis addresses the problem of “the obvious continuity between things which are admittedly natural and things which, it is claimed, are spiritual.”

The Archangel Fragment And C. S. Lewis’S World-Building Project, Brenton D. G. Dickieson, Charlie W. Starr May 2023

The Archangel Fragment And C. S. Lewis’S World-Building Project, Brenton D. G. Dickieson, Charlie W. Starr

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

In this article, we argue that, from a few hints in the Bodleian archive and elsewhere, we have discovered C. S. Lewis’s singular attempt at an Archangelic sequel to The Screwtape Letters. By analyzing this small fragment and its contextual clues, we can hear the heaven-scented voice of this anti-Screwtape world. Through this discovery we can unlock hidden links among Lewis’s fiction project of the late 1930s and early 1940s and the ways he created the speculative worlds of those stories, including a spirit of playfulness and discovery, themes critical to his theological perspective, and potential links that draw his …

C. S. Lewis And The Personal Opinion Fallacy, Jason Lepojärvi May 2023

C. S. Lewis And The Personal Opinion Fallacy, Jason Lepojärvi

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Excerpt: "Authors sometimes become targets of critics who mistake the views expressed by their characters, plot, or atmosphere for the views held by the authors themselves. Consequently, as authors begin justifiably to fear that the opinions expressed in their art will be equated with their own real-life opinions, many begin censoring themselves, thus reducing diversity of perspective and diluting vigor of expression. The present essay reflects on this particular form of literary misreading and its contribution to other literary maladies....For reasons that relate to both the nature of imaginative literature and to Lewis as a writer, readers and critics of …

C. S. Lewis And The Historical Imagination, Jamin Metcalf, K. Alan Snyder May 2023

C. S. Lewis And The Historical Imagination, Jamin Metcalf, K. Alan Snyder

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

What role should the imagination play in historical inquiry? Much has been written about how Lewis’s understanding of the imagination influenced both his literary and apologetic work. However, very little has been said about how his view of the imagination influenced his work as a literary historian. Throughout Lewis’s career at both Oxford and Cambridge, he argued for a unique approach that privileged the role of the imagination both in the study and composition of history.

The Reading Life Of Young Jack Lewis, 1914-1917, Harry Lee Poe May 2023

The Reading Life Of Young Jack Lewis, 1914-1917, Harry Lee Poe

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

Excerpt: "What follows is a list of what young Lewis read for his lessons with W. T. Kirkpatrick (over 50 works) and what he read for pleasure (over 150 works). He probably read more than this, but this is all that can be documented. We know that he read many of these books two times or more while at Gastons, because his letters to Arthur Greeves every week were full of discussions of what he was reading at the time."

Which Image Triggered C. S. Lewis’S Enthusiasm For Wagner’S Ring Cycle?, Norbert Feinendegen

Sehnsucht: The C. S. Lewis Journal

In his autobiography Surprised by Joy, C. S. Lewis recounts a seminal moment that occurred quite early in his life but had an enormous impact on his spiritual development....He saw one of Rackham’s paintings and at the same time read the words Siegfried and The Twilight of the Gods. This triggered an intense experience of Joy—the first since his childhood days—and established his lifelong fascination with Norse mythology....The actual source of Lewis’s teenage encounter with Northernness appears to have eluded biographers thus far. After an exhaustive search, I have only been able to find one issue of a contemporary literary …
