Gebundenes Buch

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

Beschreibung

This book presents a realistic account of the early years of C.S. Lewis as revealed in "Spirits in Bondage" and its surrounding events. It calls for a reappraisal of Lewis himself, not as a "soldier-poet" but as a young, ruthless and ambitious would-be academic, using others—his father, his university, his mistress—to further his own ends.

Autor

John Bremer has published several articles on and a brief biography of C.S. Lewis. He has led a double career, first, researching and writing on scholarly texts, especially on the Platonic dialogues, and, second, applying what he has learned to problems of society and public education, In the former aspect, he discovered the arithmetical/harmonical structure of the Platonic dialogues (1960-1984), and, in the latter, founded the Parkway Program (the original school-without-walls) in Philadelphia (1968) and Cambridge College in 1971.
