For thirty years, the Oxford C.S. Lewis Society has met weekly in
the medieval colleges of the University of Oxford. During that
time, it has hosted as speakers nearly all those still living who
were associated with the Inklings-the Oxford literary circle led by
C.S. Lewis-, as well as authors and thinkers of a prominence that
nears Lewis's own. C.S. Lewis and His Circle offers the reader a
chance to join this unique group. Roger White has worked with
Society past-presidents Brendan and Judith Wolfe to select the best
unpublished talks, which are here made available to the public for
the first time. They exemplify the best of traditional academic
essays, thoughtful memoirs, and informal reminiscences about C.S.
Lewis and his circle. The reader will re-imagine Lewis's Cosmic
Trilogy with former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams; read
philosopher Elizabeth Anscombe's final word on Lewis's arguments
for Christianity; hear the Reverend Peter Bide's memories of
marrying Lewis and Joy Davidman in an Oxford hospital; and learn
about Lewis's Narnia Chronicles from his former secretary.
Representing the finest of both personal and scholarly engagement
with C.S. Lewis and the Inklings, the talks collected here set a
new tone for engagement with this iconic Oxford literary circle-a
tone close to Lewis's own Oxford-bred sharpness and wryness,
seasoned with good humor and genuine affection for C.S. Lewis and
his circle.
