Immortal Horrors and Everlasting Splendours: C.S. Lewis' Screwtape Letters and The Great Divorce
Abstract
Sees Screwtape and The Great Divorce as constituting “something like a sub-genre within the Lewis canon.” Both have explicit religious intention, were written during WWII, and use a “rather informal, episodic structure.” Analyzes the different perspectives of each work, and their treatment of the themes of Body and Spirit, Time and Eternity, and Love.
