Image and Imagination and 1934

Posted by Joel Heck on Friday, December 20, 2013
The latest version of "Chronologically Lewis" contains several additional book reviews of Jack not previously included. They come from Walter Hooper's new book, Image and Imagination, released earlier this year by Cambridge University Press and containing about forty book reviews that C. S. Lewis did. This book corrected a couple of dates, one of them, for example, that was off by exactly one year. In addition, I have continued to read through the diaries of Warren Lewis during March through June, 1934. A lot of new information appears from those months, most of it applying to Warren, but some of it applying to Jack. These were not productive literary years for Jack, at least in terms of writing, since the most productive decade of his writing is especially the 1940s, but a previously unnoticed walking tour with Barfield and Harwood appears and also several other minor incidents in the lives of the Lewis brothers. Mrs. Moore appears in much better form than she does in later years. Maureen is in school at Monmouth, returning to Oxford occasionally on a Friday to go with Warren to a Ladies Musical that features classical music. Automobiles are much more in evidence during these months, with the occupants of the Kilns have two, a Singer and a Morris. During these months Aunt Lily's and Hope Ewart's deaths occur. This file version is about 3,600 words longer than the previous one.

The file that appears below lists all works of C. S. Lewis in chronological order (now 528 in number) in the location where they were first published or delivered (if spoken) as far as I am able to determine. Corrections are welcome. This version, slightly revised and added on July 11, 2019, includes works listed in the bibliography of Adam Barkman's C. S. Lewis & Philosophy as a Way of Life. It also includes the recently discovered (by Christopher Marsh) "A Christmas Sermon for Pagans" and some undated poems with estimated dates based on handwriting analysis.
