Deeper Heaven and Perelandra with Christiana Hale

Well, the glass coffin spaceship is sitting there in front of him, giving him that look, but Chris isn't ready to leave Perelandra just yet.

In this episode, he ropes Christiana Hale, author of Deeper Heaven: A Reader's Guide to C.S. Lewis' Ransom Trilogy, into coming on the show to discuss contemplation, enjoyment, poetry, literary allusions, myth, and the figure of Ransom as Martial prophet.

Her book is as interesting and edifying as it is clear and accessible--but don't take my word for it. (And by that I mean, get it for yourself.)

In two weeks, the Perelandra extravaganza continues as Chris welcomes Don W. King back on the show to discuss the cycle of Spenserian poems Ruth Pitter wrote about Perelandra.

Again, I can only really afford to put these out every two weeks. This might change if I pick up a larger audience, so please do recommend the show to your friends and leave five-star reviews, for (Deep) Heaven's sake.

See you all next time, and as always, feel free to email me at inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com.
