ABSTRACT
Because C.S.Lewis’s writings were so many and various, and particularly because of the extent of his work as a Christian apologist, much of what has been written about him subsequent to his death has emphasised extra-literary aspects, such as his marriage and the closing years of his life. The unashamedly hagiographical tone of some of this material would probably have surprised its subject. Nevertheless, there has also been an increasing willingness to scrutinise his fictional writing and to apply some of the approaches of modern literary theory to it.
