Agreed - It is woefully incorrect, and disrespectful to identify him as British; he would never have done so. While technically correct at law. This is like calling someone Scottish as simply British - it is true, but it is not "correct". [[User:Lordmuggins|Lordmuggins]] ([[User talk:Lordmuggins|talk]]) 07:03, 21 July 2021 (UTC) Matt |

Semi-protected edit request on 23 March 2021

Possible citation for these statements: The second novel, Perelandra, depicts a new Garden of Eden on the planet Venus, a new Adam and Eve, and a new "serpent figure" to tempt Eve. The story can be seen as an account of what might have happened if the terrestrial Adam had defeated the serpent and avoided the Fall of Man, with Ransom intervening in the novel to "ransom" the new Adam and Eve from the deceptions of the enemy. The third novel, That Hideous Strength, develops the theme of nihilistic science threatening traditional human values, embodied in Arthurian legend.[citation needed] Thaiss, Christopher J. “C. S. Lewis.” Critical Survey of Long Fiction, Fourth Edition, Jan. 2010, pp. 1–7. MelissaThacker (talk) 19:36, 23 March 2021 (UTC)
- @MelissaThacker: I'm not comfortable citing sources I've not seen myself. If you've looked at this work and you're confident that it adequately supports the statements in the article, why don't you just add the reference yourself, using {{cite book}}? (Apparently, the fourth edition of Critical Survey of Long Fiction runs to 10 volumes, so you should include the volume number in addition to the page numbers.) Deor (talk) 21:05, 24 March 2021 (UTC)
- I'm closing this request as there has not been any further information given by the requester. Thanks. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 12:35, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Audio File is not the same as the article
The audio file of the article is a nice idea, and I listened to it, but it's not the text of the article. The file created in 2006 could be the text of the article in its former state. But, I don't know if this reading is from the article in 2006 or if it a personal reading of some material compiled by the reader? Ty78ejui (talk) 20:37, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
- The box containing the audio file also contains the text "This audio file was created from a revision of this article dated 20 November 2005, and does not reflect subsequent edits." Is that not clear? Deor (talk) 20:45, 23 May 2021 (UTC)
Bolster "Career" portion of this page
I propose adding the following text to the section "Career" subsection "Scholar" to the page, as it provides a personal view of Lewis's appearance and attitude as an Oxford don:
Actor Robert [Hardy], CBE (1925~2017) provides an anecdote regarding Lewis's practices as a pedagogue: "I was staggered at his appearance. From reading all his stuff that my tutor at school told me to read, I got a picture of Lewis. It was a sort of El Greco Jesuit. Thin. Insistent, you know, and rather frightening. Pale and intense, absolutely. But my goodness me . . . there was this jolly farmer! And I was absolutely in my element, because I'm a country bumpkin, so I've adored him ever after. . . . He gave wonderfully jolly and extraordinary parties with lots of booze. I remember being hopelessly behind with an essay, and I said "Oh, Mr. Lewis, I wonder, would it be possible ...I’m supposed to be reading my essay to you tomorrow, but I haven't quite finished it. I wonder if I could come on Thursday?" And he said, "no no no, don't bother about it for a second. Come next Wednesday at the usual time with an extra specially good essay. Because the great thing about being at university is to enjoy yourself, which I hope you are. And besides, look at you in uniform. You'll be off soon, and you may well get killed. It's proper that you enjoy yourself." Which I thought was so wonderful."
