Artifact Description

This session features paper which look closely at C. S. Lewis's attitudes towards and use of the concept of "Eros" in his writings--scholarly, popular theology, and creative. Whether the erotic side of mystical theology (as in Dame Julian), the somewhat subtle erotic dimension of The Chronicles of Narnia or the more famous characterization of Eros himself in Till We Have Faces, Lewis was fascinated, troubled, and inspired by this powerful reality of human life. The session is dedicated to the memory of Joy Davidman (d. 1957), whose love Lewis celebrated especially in A Grief Observed and is evident everywhere in his later works.Joe M. Ricke
