Description
C. S. Lewis offers a magisterial take on the literature and poetry of one of the most consequential periods in world history, providing deep insight into some of the greatest writers of the age, including Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, William Tyndale, John Knox, Dr. Johnson, Richard Hooker, Hugh Latimer, Christopher Marlowe, John Donne, and Thomas Cranmer.
English Literature in the Sixteenth Century is an invigorating overview of English literature from the Norman Conquest through the mid-seventeenth century from one of the greatest public intellectuals of the modern age. In this wise, distinctive collection, C. S. Lewis expounds on the profound impact prose and poetry had on both British intellectual life and his own critical thinking and writing, demonstrated in his deep reflections and essays.
This incisive work is essential for any serious literature scholar, intellectual Anglophile, or C. S. Lewis fan.

Challenging, but so worthwhile.
This text is classic CS Lewis – simply profound and profoundly simple. By simple, I mean clear – written with extraordinary clarity and wit. Profound, because it is a most searching study of 16th-century poetry and prose, much of it unfamiliar to most of us, but in Lewis’s hands rendered so interesting that I want to read it now for myself. I’ve rated the performance so highly because the readers lively presentation is so compelling. This will not be for everyone, but it will be for many more than on might have thought by its title. Thank you audible for making it available.
