The Scientifiction Novels of C.S. Lewis

More about the book

Exploring the concept of "scientifiction," the book delves into the blurred lines between science fiction and fantasy as envisioned by C.S. Lewis. It highlights how Lewis's "interplanetary" novels predate the contemporary distinction between these genres, linking them to the broader narrative traditions of the 1940s and 1950s. By examining this unique classification, the work sheds light on the evolution of genre boundaries, particularly in relation to influential authors like Ray Bradbury and the impact of works like The Lord of the Rings.
