Abstract
Abstract ‘Fame’ discusses C. S. Lewis’s work through the 1940s and the rise of his vocation as an apologist. It considers The Screwtape Letters (1942) and his vastly popular BBC talks (which were all to be consolidated and edited by Lewis as Mere Christianity, 1952). Amid prodigious letter writing, he continues the tradition of walking tours with Warren and others from the 1930s and converses with the Inklings. His thoughts on Milton’s Paradise Lost are discussed along with his ideas on the difference between primary and secondary epics. The Abolition of Man, The Great Divorce, and his cosmic mythological fiction—Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength—are also considered.
