Warren Lewis

Posted by Joel Heck on Wednesday, August 13, 2014
This update includes a lot more information about Warren Lewis and very little information about Jack Lewis, apart from the mention of a postcard or two that Warren sent to his brother. The departure from Shanghai and the ensuing travel by ship through the Pacific Ocean by way of San Francisco (even past Alcatraz to Pier 41) and through the Panama Canal are included in this edition, mostly confined to the first few months of 1930. Part of its importance is in placing Warren some distance from Jack, leaving Jack alone with his work, Mrs. Moore, and Maureen. Since the two brothers were close, one can assume a great deal of interaction while they are living together. Some hope to be able to understand better Jack's spiritual pilgrimage is left unfulfilled. Warren states almost nothing about this. There is one diary entry, however, where Warren comments on a book chapter written to describe how we got the Bible. That Warren does so in a fair, even-handed way, suggests that he is progressing back toward the Christian faith at this time, much like his brother. In addition, I have added a few minor insights from Colin Duriez's 2013 biography of Lewis.

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.
