Summary: This volume, available in print for the first time since 1980, includes over twenty of C.S. Lewis's most important literary essays, written between 1932 and 1962. The topics discussed range from Chaucer to Kipling, from 'The literary impact of the authorised version' to 'Psycho-analysis and literary criticism', from Shakespeare and Bunyan to Sir Walter Scott and William Morris. Common to each essay, however, are the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness, and the discreet erudition which characterise Lewis's best critical writing
De descriptione temporum -- The alliterative metre -- What Chaucer really did to Il filostrato -- The fifteenth-century heroic line -- Hero and Leander -- Variation in Shakespeare and others -- Hamlet : the prince or the poem? -- Donne and love poetry in the seventeenth century -- The literary impact of the Authorised Version -- The vision of John Bunyan -- Addison -- Four-letter words -- A note on Jane Austen -- Shelley, Dryden, and Mr Eliot -- Sir Walter Scott -- William Morris -- Kipling's world -- Bluspels and flalansferes : a semantic nightmare -- High and low brows -- Metre -- Psycho-analysis and literary criticism -- The anthropological approach
