CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE: FURTHER UP AND FURTHER IN
1Walter Hooper: Preface to TST 34
2T. S. Eliot: ‘Little Gidding’, Four Quartets
*As a result of his Irish pronunciation of the word ‘potato’.
*i.e. rather than use the old-fashioned gentlemanly pronunciation ‘westcut’.
*It is categorically not the case that Lewis had ‘always wanted to attack the practice’ of sacramental confession ‘whenever he found it’. This strange assertion (among many other inaccuracies) occurs in Clive Staples Lewis: A Dramatic Life, by William Griffin. Griffin quotes Lewis as saying, in a letter written to his father in March 1928, ‘If you try to suppress it, you only make martyrs.’ Griffin’s readers are not told that Lewis was not, here, speaking about confession. The ‘it’ which he speaks of suppressing is the Oxford Group Movement formed by Frank Buchman and later known as Moral Rearmament. The letter (written four years before Lewis became a Christian) expresses distaste for the Groupers’ reported custom of extracting public confessions from their devotees.
*He uses the word to mean not students of Natural History, but those who believe that there can be no Supernatural.
*Later Kathryn Lindskoog. She went on to write several books about Lewis, one of which, The C. S. Lewis Hoax, is discussed in the Preface.
*It was not unique. Think of Rowse himself – certainly the most entertaining and eloquent historian of his age, and author of several histories – such as The England of Elizabeth – destined to become classics in the tradition of Gibbon and Macaulay, of history which is also literature. Rowse was never, in his half-century as a fellow of All Souls, once asked to lecture in the History Faculty, let alone offered promotion. Or think of Austin Farrer, described as the ‘one true genius’ of the Church of England in the twentieth century, author of incomparably the most interesting theological books ever to come out of the Oxford Theology Faculty, and passed over for professorial chairs over and over again.
*In the event, the Blakes did retain Mrs Moore’s share of the house, which was one of the reasons it was sold after Lewis’s own death.
