      XPost: alt.books.cs-lewis, rec.arts.books.tolkien, rec.arts.books       XPost: alt.religion.christianity       From: hayesstw@telkomsa.net              Brenton Dickieson's blog "A Pilgrim in Narnia" is one of the more       frequently clicked links on my blogroll, because he always has       interesting things to say about C.S. Lewis and the other Inklings.              In one of his posts I recently looked at he had abstracted a reading       list from C.S. Lewis's essay "An Experiment in Criticism", which must       have been quite a bit of work because, as he notes, "An Experiment in       Criticiam" has neither an index nor a bibliography.              "Lewis is one of the most widely read people I have ever encountered       in history. He devoured books, which were his lifelong love and the       foundation of his work as a scholar and writer. His own books are       layered with hundreds of the great books of history hidden within the       images, words, and stories. Even Narnia–especially Narnia, perhaps–is       soaked through with echoes from mythology, children’s fiction, the       poets, Arthurian tales, and the Bible. Not just these books, but their       fictional worlds too. Even the world of Sherlock Holmes is connected       with our early Narnian heroes."              You can read it all here (and how many of the works listed have you       read?):              https://apilgriminnarnia.com/2016/08/04/a-canon-listcsl/                     --       Steve Hayes       Web: http://www.khanya.org.za/stevesig.htm        http://www.goodreads.com/hayesstw        http://www.bookcrossing.com/mybookshelf/Methodius              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
