This volume includes over twenty of C. S. Lewis''s most important literary essays, written between 1932 and 1962. The topics discussed range from Chaucer to Kipling, from ''The Literary Impact of the Authorised Version'' to ''Psycho-Analysis and Literary Criticism'', from Shakespeare and Bunyan to Sir Walter Scott and William Morris. Common to each essay, however, is the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness and the discreet erudition which characterizes Lewis''s best critical writing.

Industry Reviews

'There is no essay by C. S. Lewis on any writer that does not provoke attention and inspire awe at his energy and clarity of mind.' Claude Rawson, Yale University
