C. S. Lewis began his teaching career one hundred years ago at University College, Oxford in 1924, moving to Magdalen College in 1925. In the following 38 years, Lewis published eight books of literary criticism, literary history, and theory - plus dozens of literary essays. As with his fiction and popular religious writing, Lewis's scholarship is brim-full of profound insights about our common humanity, the books we enjoy, and our fascinating world. C.S. Lewis on Literature brings us closer to how Lewis's mind worked, helps us all to become better readers and, incidentally, better persons. In the centenary year marking Lewis's inauguration as an educator, this book is a fitting tribute to his monumental achievements.
