C s lewis biography video edgar

At A Pilgrim in Narnia, we have an occasional feature called “Throwback Thursday.” By raiding either my own blog-hoard or someone else’s, I find a blog post from the past and throw it back out into the digital world.

This video brings together two series, the 10 Minute Book Talk with Dr. Brenton Dickieson i. So I am pre-launching the series because I think this is a helpful video, and I get more questions about this topic than anything else. Here, I talk about 5 biographies of C.

This might be an idea or book that is now relevant again, or a concept I’d like to think about more, or even “an oldie but a goodie” that I think needs a bit of spin time.

For today’s Throwback Thursday, I am returning to the story of C.S.

Lewis&#;s life. I suppose I am always returning there. I find it compelling to believe about his fiction in tandem with his work and letters and experiences. My most recent article was, in a meaning, retelling the story of an aspect of Lewis&#; life&#;his association with T.S.

Eliot&#;s poetry and public works&#;with a note from J.R.R. Tolkien about the person of Lewis that we might not know about from his own autobiography or letters.

C. S. Lewis - Wikipedia: We keep finding out more about C. S. Lewis from his diary, letters, and reports from people who knew him. So a recent 3 volume biography shines more light on aspects of Lewis that we didn’t know before. Hal Poe discusses his recent work and how it has encouraged him. Recommended Resources: C. S. Lewis’s diary.

As a couple of &#;timeline&#; posts and other biography articles continue to be popular, I thought I would bring them together for today&#;s Throwback Thursday feature.

Whenever I have done talks and fireside chats about C.S.

Lewis&#; life, it usually takes me an hour or so to capture an outline of the live that Lewis lived. A recent lecture where I walked through Lewis&#; life using his own words&#;his letters, diaries, prefaces, autobiographical notes, and his memoirs&#;took minutes.

As someone who lived a rich life, writing book after book that changed the way we think &#; there just always seems a lot to say.

However, what about an introduction for those who are new to Lewis&#; works or just want a petty background to the person who wrote the Narnian chronicles they love or who inspired them to study Milton or Dante in new ways?

My oppose, then, was to create a minute version of this being, one that gives an outline of the whole without losing Lewis&#; large personality.

To create the kind of focus I wanted, I made a timeline.

As I did with my previous &#;Timeline of C.S. Lewis&#; Major Talks,&#; I used JBS Timeline&#;s app to capture key moments in Lewis&#; life that would allow us about 20 minutes of conversation.

As you can envision, there are challenges in selecting out just a few key moments that capture Lewis&#; animation for readers and students&#;even when covering just the major events!

However, it is a visually tight presentation. Unfortunately, JBS Timeline is not yet embeddable in WordPress, but you can click here to become &#;A Life of C.S. Lewis Timeline.&#;

I then used this timeline to create a video communicate , and I think it worked pretty well!

This video and timeline are part of a series of C.S.

In a recent series on Lewis studies, I went further into some of the more recent biographies with my piece, &#;Good C.S.

Lewis Studies Books That Did Not Prevail the Mythopoeic Award: Part 2: C.S. Lewis Biographies,&#; which includes another 6 biographical resources that might interest you&#;most of them fairly accessible. And you should check out my &#;5 Affordable Ways to Purchase Digital Books By and About C.S.

Lewis&#; and &#;5 Ways to Detect Open Source Academic Research on C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, and the Inklings&#; posts. It is also important to think of the work of Walter Hooper, who I call in this legacy piece, &#;C.S. Lewis’ Excel Than Boswell.&#;

What follows are some other blog posts and articles that I have written about C.S.

Lewis&#; life.

I always affection when Lewis shares his autobiography accidentally.

I suppose I am always returning there. I identify it compelling to think about his fiction in tandem with his work and letters and experiences. Tolkien about the person of Lewis that we might not know about from his own autobiography or letters. Whenever I have done talks and fireside chats about C.

He does this all the period in his nearly four thousand published letters, but also in prefaces and dust-jacket descriptions. Because C.S. Lewis keeps telling his own story (as I disagree in this piece), here are a few resources that reach to accidentally, as it were:

From time to time, I own blogged about the critical turns in C.S.

Lewis&#; life. Here are some of those articles:

As you can see from this list, I believe that Lewis&#; imaginative and literary awakenings are critical parts of his being story. You can see these outlined in &#;The Periods of C.S.

Lewis’ Literary Life.&#; Among these moments are the tributes and encouragement of Lewis&#; friends and students.

Clive Staples Lewis (29 November – 22 November ) was a British penner and lay theologian. He held academic positions in English literature at both Oxford University (Magdalen.

Here are some examples:

Finally, by far my most popular C.S. Lewis video is my Lecture, &#;A Grief Observed, with C.S. Lewis.&#; It is a brief less about biography and more about Lewis&#; reflection on his experiences of loss and grief, but I think it is still a valuable resource.
