Queering Faith in Fantasy Literature
Fantastic Incarnations and the Deconstruction of TheologyIn Queering Faith in Fantasy Literature, Taylor Driggers begins with the idea of “undressing” theology through fantasy, then applies this practice to rich and varied texts within the genre of the queer fantastic. Through sharp, heartfelt analysis of work by Ursula Leguin, Samuel Delany, and Angela Carter, among other compelling fantasists, Driggers reveals how the intersection of fantasy and theology celebrates the very best of queer and trans futures. There’s something for everyone in this book: dragons and drag, nonbinary aliens, polyamorous theology, and deep dives into gender studies and poststructuralist theory. Driggers’ own passion for the texts is visible in every chapter, and this book reminds us that LGBTQ2+ folks “living outside the gates of normative Christianity” deserve a queer, dragon-blooded spirituality. This is one of the first substantial treatments of queer desire and theology in fantasy fiction, and it opens up enchanted doors for readers who may have found it difficult to reconcile their faith with their queer and trans embodiment. We can all share in the dragon’s laugh as we rediscover works of fantasy by this book’s wonderful light.

Image and Imagination
Essays and Reviews'C. S. Lewis [was] one of the very best critics writing in English in the twentieth century, vivid, provoking, and eloquent, as well as deeply learned in the literature of Europe from the ancient classics to his own time, with a special mastery of medieval and Renaissance poetry. He is now popularly better known for his fiction and his religious writings than his literary criticism. But it is his gifts as a critic which will endure as his truly pre-eminent legacy. Like Samuel Johnson, on whose personality and writings Lewis modelled himself, he is a commentator whose insights and opinions are enriching even when one disagrees with them, raising central questions and offering challenging perspectives … There is no essay by Lewis on any writer that does not provoke attention and inspire awe at his energy and clarity of mind.'

Of Other Worlds
Reflections on Wonder and Fantasy from One of the Greatest Writers of Our Time A repackaged edition of the revered author’s treasury of essays and stories which examine the value of creative writing and imaginative exploration. C. S. Lewis said, “No book is really worth reading at the age of ten which is not equally (and often far more) worth reading at the age of fifty—except, of course, books of information. The only imaginative works we ought to grow out of are those which it would have been better not to have read at all.” In Of Other Worlds, C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—presents a well-reasoned case for the importance of story and wonder, elements often ignored by critics of his time. He also discusses his favorite kinds of stories—children’s stories and fantasies—and offers insights into his most famous works, The Chronicles of Narnia and the Space Trilogy. This book provides a deeper look into Lewis’s thoughts and opinions on literary criticism and is a great read for longtime fans and new readers of Lewis.

The Personal Heresy
A repackaged edition of the revered author’s set of dueling critical essays with fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard in which they debate the role of an author’s biography in the critical appraisal of literature. C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—challenges fellow scholar E. M. W. Tillyard on one of the most intriguing questions involving writers and writing. Is a work of imaginative literature primarily influenced by the author or by the subject matter? Lewis argues that the author’s own personality and biography has little to no impact on the writing, while Tillyard contends the opposite: that the author’s own imagination and story have an indelible influence on a piece of work. Clever, erudite, and enlightening, their debate may not definitively settle the issue, but it does offer invaluable insight and intellectual delight for all dedicated readers.
