Lewis: His Literary Achievement","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first thorough analysis of the whole of Lewis' fiction to show it has behind it a considerable sophistication of literary technique and patterning. The works discussed include THE PILGRIMS REGRESS, THE RANSON TRILOGY, THE GREAT DIVORCE, the NARNIA books and TILL WE HAVE FACES. -.-.- \"This is a positively brilliant book, written with splendor, elegance, profundity and evidencing an enormous amount of learning. This is probably not a book to give a first-time reader of Lewis. But for those who are more broadly read in the Lewis corpus this book is an absolute gold mine of information. The author gives us a magnificent overview of Lewis' many writings, tracing for us thoughts and ideas which recur throughout, and at the same time telling us how each book differs from the others. I think it is not extravagant to call C. S. Lewis: His Literary Achievement a tour de force.\" - Robert Merchant, \u003cem\u003eSt. Austin Review\u003c\/em\u003e, Book Review Editor\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eManlove, Colin:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Colin Manlove (1942-2020) was literary critic with a particular interest in fantasy. Modern Fantasy: Five Studies (1975), considers at length works by Charles Kingsley, George MacDonald, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien and Mervyn Peake, and was written at a time when no serious study of the subject [of fantasy literature] has appeared.In it he posits a definition of fantasy as: A fiction evoking wonder and containing a substantial and irreducible element of supernatural or impossible worlds, beings or objects with which the mortal characters in the story or the readers become on at least partly familiar terms.","brand":"Winged Lion Press, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50444370542866,"sku":"9781935688501","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_bb8c2e8a-17a2-4c3f-92d1-670060df0d34.jpg?v=1729681172","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/c-s-lewis-his-literary-achievement-9781935688501","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
