Tertiary Epic in C.S. Lewis
Gosh, I enjoy giving papers at C.S. Lewis Conferences! But it’s expensive. Most of those who do it have, it seems, college department budgets paying their expenses. For an amateur Lewis ‘scholar,’ it’s hard to get there from here. I’ve been lucky to have a C.S. Lewis studies class nearby so as to become a guest lecturer. That led to a couple of conference opportunities, but I can’t afford to contribute papers to more.
For this one, I extended Lewis’ thoughts about the development of epic form (from his Preface to Paradise Lost) into his own Space Trilogy – the form of epic in the shadow of the Cross. It was tremendously interesting to me, and I hope to write more about it in the future. Meanwhile, holler if you’re interested in hearing more about this paper.
