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 Jane Austen. Common to each essay, however, is the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness, and the discreet erudition that characterizes Lewis's best critical writing. Edited by Walter Hooper.
