Essays and Others

Williams wrote many essays, reviews, and exploratory pieces. These few can be found in print.

When Charles Williams died in 1945 there remained to us of his work, besides his published books and those which he had in preparation for the press, a number of essays which had appeared in periodicals and elsewhere, many of which contain important statements of his ideas. A selection of these is printed here.

This book is meant as an introduction to the works of certain contemporary poets, for those readers who do not know them, while not being, it is hoped, entirely without interest for those who do. : ‘contemporary’ in this care means contemporary with Williams himself!

One of the most ambitious essays in the interpretation of Dante our time has seen…his interpretation of the role of Beatrice is a subtle and individual one.

Henry VII is less spectacular than his descendants, but not less interesting or even exciting. The first of the Tudors has been less written about than any (except Edward VI). He supplanted a dynasty and subordinated an aristocracy; he collected a treasure and created a fleet. But he created also the engine of monarchy.

The life of Elizabeth represents, in English history, the longest and most spectacular period of a change in society. That change began before her. It was the change from a society directed, at any rate in theory, by a metaphysical idea, to a society directed, both in theory and practice, by nothing but he continual pressure of events. It is a change completed in our day.

With an Introduction by Dorothy Sayers

The Torso contains the Posthumous fragment of ‘The Figure of Arthur’, By Charles Williams, and a commentary on the Arthurian poems of Charles Williams by his friend C.S. Lewis.

C. S. Lewis, Charles Williams, and Esemplastic Friendship

Theology Today

Jason Lepojärvi

C. S. Lewis's published writings comprise some forty-odd books in multiple genres, hundreds of essays, and thousands of letters. The theme that arguably rises above other themes is love, and within the family of different kinds of love, the love of friendship holds prominence. Although Lewis is often credited for accessible writing, there exists a number of popular misunderstandings about his ideas of friendship in particular. Several writers-theologians, philosophers, and literary scholars-have leveled serious charges against Lewis's understanding of friendship. This article will evaluate three of these charges in more detail, those of sexism, secrecy, and snobbery. The article shows that these are based on incomplete readings or complete misreadings of Lewis's life and writings. This is not to say that Lewis had no blind spots (he certainly did), but that they are not always where his critics see them.

Surprised by Faith: Conversion and the Academy

John Lippitt

DLS: American Journal of Sayers Studies

Dr. Barbara L Prescott

Jonathan Fruoco

Much has been written in the last decades about C.S. Lewis and his friendship with men such as Charles Williams or J.R.R. Tolkien but the nature of his opposition with T.S. Eliot has somewhat remained obscure. Indeed, very few people are today aware that the Christian apologist and author of The Chronicles of Narnia had found his nemesis in the acclaimed poet and receiver of the Nobel Prize in Literature. A few years ago, however, Bart Jan Spruyt brilliantly summed up the various factors opposing Lewis and Eliot in his paper ‘One of the enemy: C. S. Lewis on the very great evil of T. S. Eliot’s' work’, but he failed, in my opinion, to expose the psychological dimension of that confrontation which was more than a simple battle of wits between two intellectuals. Therefore, in order to throw some light on this multi-faceted opposition it is necessary to ask ourselves some simple but essential questions: what could possibly be Lewis’s reasons for hating Eliot? Was it jealousy? Or perhaps, did he simply dislike Eliot as a man? And more importantly, what was at the origin of their reconciliation? I will try to provide answers to those questions, proving in the end that their religious, academic and national identities were central in their opposition for Lewis was surely an interesting and complex man. As Tolkien once said, ‘Interesting? Yes, he’s certainly that. You’ll never get to the bottom of him .’

Arend Smilde

The concept of human love is characteristic of C.S. Lewis' idea of transcendence as evidenced in several of his works. The paper examines neo-platonism and Lewis's concept of Love in both fiction and essay format.

Heythrop Journal

This article is a reinvestigation of some of key concepts and arguments of C. S. Lewis's influential book The Four Loves. The article suggest that we must recalculate the number of loves, redefine love itself, and rediscover the elusive meaning of “charity”. Charity has been the most misunderstood of the “four” loves, even or especially among his most devoted readers.
