内容説明

C.S. Lewis is perhaps best known for his popular series of children's books, "The Chronicles of Narnia" but he also wrote science fiction in the form of interplanetary fantasies - a series of three novels known as the "Ransom" trilogy. This book offers a critical assessment of that trilogy, placing the three volumes in the context of Lewis' life and work. The author reveals the autobiographical and theological subtexts of "Out of the Silent Planet", "Perelandra" and "That Hideous Strength", showing as well how much Lewis the classical and medieval scholar influenced the work of Lewis the creator of interplanetary fantasies.

内容説明

A critical study of C.S. Lewis's ""Ransom Trilogy"" which analyses Lewis's methods and meanings, concentrating on this trilogy but also including relevant secondary work. The study is developed through specific internal analysis of the three texts but also by the incorporation of details of Lewis's life. Lewis's literary scholarship and reasoned defence of Christian values incorporated into a network of analogies, echoes, and correspondences within the trilogy are also examined.
