The Allegory of Love is a study in medieval tradition-the rise of both the sentiment called "Courtly Love" and of the allegorical method-from eleventh-century Languedoc through sixteenth-century England. C. S. Lewis devotes considerable attention to The Romance of the Rose and The Faerie Queene, and to such poets as Geoffrey Chaucer, John Gower, and Thomas Usk.

The Allegory of Love

This collection brings together the best of C. S. Lewis's letters, many published for the first time. Arranged in chronological order, this final volume covers the years 1950 - the year 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' was published - through to Lewis's untimely death in 1963.

 C. S. Lewis was a most prolific letter-writer and his personal correspondence reveals much of his private life, reflections, friendships and feelings. This collection, carefully chosen and arranged by Walter Hooper, is the most extensive ever published.

 In this great and important collection are the letters Lewis wrote to J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy L. Sayers, Owen Barfield, Arthur C. Clarke, Sheldon Vanauken and Dom Bede Griffiths. To some particular friends, such as Dorothy L. Sayers, Lewis wrote over fifty letters alone. The letters deal with all of Lewis's interests: theology, literary criticism, poetry, fantasy, children's stories as well as revealing his relationships with family members and friends.

 The third and final volume begins with Lewis, already a household name from his BBC radio broadcasts and popular spiritual books, on the cusp of publishing his most famous and enduring book, 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', which would ensure his immortality in the literary world. It covers his relationship with Joy Davidman, subject of the film 'Shadowlands', and includes letters right up to his death on 22 November 1963, the day that John F. Kennedy was assassinated.

Collected Letters Volume Three - Narnia, Cambridge and Joy 1950–1963

An 365-day anthology of readings from one of the most influential writers of all time, George MacDonald, compiled by CS Lewis himself

 MacDonald was a major Christian writer of the late nineteenth, early twentieth centuries. He influenced nearly everyone who was a major twentieth century writer (including Lewis Carroll, WH Auden, JRR Tolkien, Walter de la Mare, and CS Lewis. Not only was he a pioneer in the fantasy fiction genre, laying the path for people like Tolkien to write Lord of the Rings, but also a major Christian thinker, which influenced Lewis profoundly. Lewis, in fact, wrote that MacDonald was his 'master', and said 'I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself.'These words will challenge and uplift you, and illuminate the faith which underpins all of CS Lewis's popular and enduring writing.
