Lewis and Chivalry

Lewis' writings on the middle ages would be his scholarly works - The Allegory of Love or The Discarded Image. You could look at the list under the "Works" tab of this website to see what he's written.

I suggest you search Amazon or your library for books on chivalry.

Thanks to you both. This gives me a place to get started.

I have just done some googling on this topic. Amx, are you sure that it was C.S. Lewis who was referred to as the expert on chivalry? There is a Robert Lewis who has written a book called Raising a Modern-Day Knight: A Father's Role in Guiding His Son to Authentic Manhood, which Focus on the Family has published.

Leslie, my guess is that what the article writer was referring to was Lewis' literary books, such Allegory of Love and The Discarded Image. In his literary work he touched on just about every aspect of medival world view.

That was my first thought too, Sven (see my post above) but I thought I'd point out the Robert Lewis book, because of the FOTF connection. Also, I can't see FOTF suggesting that people read The Allegory of Love for advice on raising their children. ;)

D'oh! sorry about that, I did read your first post last week, and then blindly typed down the same thing today
