Publisher’s Summary
This is an extensive collection of short essays and other pieces by C. S. Lewis that have been brought together in one volume for the first time. As well as his many books, letters, and poems, Lewis also wrote a great number of essays and shorter pieces on various subjects. He wrote extensively on Christian theology and the defense of faith but also on various ethical issues and on the nature of literature and storytelling. In this essay collection we find a treasure trove of Lewis’ reflections on diverse topics.
C. S. Lewis’s essays have been published in various combinations for years now. What is absolutely terrific about this volume is that it packages 135 of Lewis’s essays and other short writings. Some of those here are hard to find anywhere else such as Christian Reunion. If you are interested in C.S. Lewis’s essays — and functioning neurons ought to be — then this is the volume to get.
I have a huge library of C.S. Lewis’s work — just about everything and I bought this to flesh out my collection since it contained some essays I didn’t have. When I got it I took one look and now it is the first volume I take down when I’m looking for something. The essays are nicely arranged by overall topic — just the sixteen essays collected as part 6: The Art of Writing and the Gifts of Writers — are worth the price of admission. Even some of Lewis’s fiction is included. The fragment “The Dark Tower” for example — it’s authenticity has been questioned — read it and decide for… Read more
I’m still hyperventilating over the out-of-print price I paid for this, but this is a great, great get. Another reviewer has elsewhere pointed out that the most efficient way to grab up Lewis’s essays is to get these:
Essay Collection and Other Short Pieces
Selected Literary Essays
Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Literature
Unfortunately the top two are out of print. But if you can swing the dough, you will have very nearly every essay published by Lewis, and I believe only a single essay is repeated between the three collections. (I could be wrong, but the number of repeats is tiny. I don’t have SLE in front of me to check the math.) To me, they are well worth it.
If you have worked your way through the staples (ha! no pun intended!) of Lewis’s canon and want to branch out, this is a gold mine for you. This one, the other two mentioned, and the third volume of his collected letters would be an even better set.
Despite what other people may have suggested it IS possible to get all of these essays in other books by Lewis. My suggestion would be to get all of the essay books by Lewis that were published between 1998 and 2002, these include Screwtape Proposes a Toast; of this and other worlds; fern-seeds and elephants. A little leg work in checking off the table of contents could save you 180 bucks getting a copy. Also, consider looking for a used copy from Amazon.UK
Happy Reading
