School Assignment

[Sir Paul]

Hi
I'm doing a school asignment aclled an "Author Study."
I've read all the chronicals of narnia and have decided to do C.S.Lewis.
I've also thought that a forum would be agreat idea for gathering opinions on the following criteria.

How do we recognise C.S.Lewis's work?

What are the authors:
Concerns
Ideas/Thoughts
Settings
Common structures

Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
I'll come back often to read coments and queary them to get the best opions and information i can.

C.S. Lewis was unique, but the author that resembled him the most was probably George MacDonald. He imitated MacDonald and was the first to acknowledge the debt he owed him for revealing much of the Christian faith to him. MacDonald had as much depth and thoughtfulness, though perhaps Lewis had more simplicity and his writing was almost flawless, according to those who evaluated his style and scholarship. MacDonald would sometimes digress into lengthy sermons, whereas Lewis could say something similar in fewer words. But their philosophies were almost identical on many Christians morals and ideas. You would almost think they could have written each other's books-- except that Lewis was better writer and McDonald was a "supreme" preacher, as Lewis put it. I think At the Back of the North Wind and Phantastes compare well with the best of Lewis' fantasy.
