Selected Literary Essays

Selected Literary Essays includes over twenty of C. S. Lewiss most important literary essays, written between 1932 and 1962. The topics discussed in this volume range from Chaucer to Kipling, from The literary impact of the authorized version to Psycho-analysis and literary criticism, to Shakespeare and Bunyan, and Sir Walter Scott and William Morris. Common to each essay, however, are the lively wit, the distinctive forthrightness, and the discreet erudition which characterize Lewiss best critical writing.
