Abstract
Scholarly Guest of Honor address, Mythcon 12. Discusses references to elves and fairies in the poetry of Lewis. Faerie provides a romantic streak in nature, and/or psychological symbols of escape, in the early poems. Faerie and Christianity vie in “The Queen of Drum,” and Faerie is virtually absent from his later poems.
