Hi there,
does anybody have any views on the Land of Narnia relating to the British Empire? Did Lewis employ themes of Colonialisation and Imperialism into his story writing?
We all know Lewis was "very British". I know the shields and armour the Narnians wear in battle represent Aslan but the use of Lions is an old English motif... Does anybody have any views on this subject?
