M. W. Tillyard in which they debate the role of an author's biography in the critical appraisal of literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eC. S. Lewis--the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of \u003cem\u003eMere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia\u003c\/em\u003e, 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? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLewis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-203402\"\u003eC.
