Changes to Planets in Peril: A Critical Study of C.S.... by David C. Downing

A critical study of C.S. Lewis's "Ransom Trilogy" which analyses Lewis's methods and meanings, concentrating on this trilogy but also including relevant secondary work. The study is developed through specific internal analysis of the three texts but also by the incorporation of details of Lewis's life. Lewis's literary scholarship and reasoned defence of Christian values incorporated into a network of analogies, echoes, and correspondences within the trilogy are also examined.

IN LEWIS we find a writer of almost bewildering diversity: the medieval historian who wrote letters to children, the literary critic who wrote interplanetary romances, the Christian apologist who composed humorous light verse.
