The unpublished diary of J. O. Reed

Posted by Joel Heck on Thursday, December 24, 2009

An undergraduate at Magdalen during 1949-1950, J. O. Reed kept a diary. During the writing of Irrigating Deserts, Reed transcribed and sent to me the appropriate parts of his diary that applied to C. S. Lewis, with whom he took tutorials. I have now incorporated those diary entries into the chronology, giving some additional insight into Lewis' daily activities. (12-23-2009)

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 May 13, 2020, includes a corrected date for "Transposition" on June 9, 1946.

This file describes what is happening in Oxford, Cambridge, the UK, and Europe at the time that Lewis writes his various poems, essays, and books, dividing the life and writings of Lewis by academic topic, i.e. English, Philosophy, History, etc.
