C.S. Lewis, Poetry, and the Great War 1914-1918

More about the book

Focusing on the formative years of C.S. Lewis, the narrative challenges the traditional view of him as a "soldier-poet." Instead, it portrays him as a young, driven academic willing to exploit those around him—his father, university, and mistress—to achieve his ambitions. This realistic account encourages readers to reconsider Lewis's character and motivations during a pivotal time in his life, providing a deeper understanding of the complexities behind his early pursuits.
