A search on eBay for yields a few results, most of which are cheaper than the $100 you listed. Although one is listed at $1,170...

You may be able to find the second book as well with some searching on eBay.

Good Luck!

I read somewhere last year that Allegory of Love was being considered for publication by Cambridge University Press under their inexpensive paperback imprint Canto. Most of Lewis' literary works have already been released by them (An Experiment in Criticism, Studies in Medieval and Renaissance Literature, Studies in Words, and The Discarded Image.) You might want to wait a bit and see if they do the same for Allegory of Love.

As for Lewis' volume of the OHEL, 16th Century excluding Drama, I've got good news, and bad news :) . The good news is, it is still in print, though Oxford University Press has renamed it Poetry and Prose in the Sixteenth Century. The bad news is, it costs $90.25 new. Ordering info .

It would be appreciated that, if you order it through Amazon, you go there via one of the links in the Wardrobe bookstore (button above). That way, a few cents of the purchase price will go to help offset our server costs, and it won't add anything to your purchase price.

Hope this helps.

Selah,

Rat! he found breath to whisper, shaking. Are you afraid?
Afraid? murmured the Rat, his eyes shining with unutterable love.
Afraid! Of Him? O, never, never! And yet -- and yet -- O, Mole, I am afraid!
Then the two animals, crouching to the earth, bowed their heads and did worship.

I don't know if this helps, but Amazon.co.uk are selling new copies of OHEL/Poetry and Prose in the Sixteenth Century new for £25,00 or used for £24,75. Full details . It is also offering The Allegory of Love for under £50.

About Canto - my copy of The Allegory is by the C.U.P so it sounds like they may be considering reissuing the book. Good news. A quick check on the web site doesn't bring up that title so I suppose it is a case of watch that space.

Look around at www.bookfinder.com for relatively inexpensive copies of The Allegory of Love and the OHEL book. You may have to check back now and then, but bookfinder has been the best way to get the lowest price on hard-to-find books, in my experience.
