On the ordering: Douglas Gresham rules the roost on the numbering, and that is his call. I myself prefer the 'as published' order, but there's little harm...
... Well, Mark, most Lewis scholars (as well as most Lewis fans) would agree with you. At the Mythopoeic Society's Lewis Centenary Conference in 1998, Peter...

Mark, I'm with DDD and Angie on waiting on the Space trilogy. Somehow the ordering of the Narnia books doesn't seem like such a big issue for me personally,...
The Figure of Beatrice pp80-81 There remains to pass under view the several virtues naturally predominant at the different stages of this noble life. In the...
In reading this, I was struck by how similar it seems in metaphor and belief system to parts of John Ruskin's "The True and Beautiful in Nature, Art, Morals,...

Dear Nikki I do not know of CW mentioning Ruskin - do others? - but Ruskin was certainly well thought of by George MacDonald, who influenced several Inklings;...
I have just finished reading Shadows of Ecstasy (SOE) for the first time. I hope the rest of you won't mind hearing my initial reactions to it. By way of...

Belated remarking upon the questionable association of CW with the word ‘politics’. He wrote of a dance of hierarchies ascending and descending the steps...
Tim, Enjoyed your comments on this book as well as the feedback from your post. It seems to me that there is a parallel between the character of Isabel in this...
I'm wondering about this. My "portable" copy of Dante doesn't include the "Convivio" and I couldn't find this reference in an online translation -- probably a...
Hello Jonas, Dante only got through writing the first few commentaries of the _Convivio_. In my edition (Temple Classics, London: J. M. Dent, 1912), there is a...

Mark, I have tried, and failed, to read the translation of Dante I have. I have heard such glowing things about the Sayers translation that I long to get my...
I don't think Sayers does the liveliest translation--she is keeping the full terza rima rhyme, and that is difficult, so there are lots of rhymes on odd words,...
