Spirits in Bondage

Meer over het boek

The collection features three distinct sections of poetry, showcasing a variety of styles and rhythms while exploring themes that reflect Lewis's pre-Christian worldview. Written at just twenty years old after his military service in World War I, this debut work highlights his early literary talent, encouraged by his tutor. The title, inspired by Milton's Paradise Lost, underscores the work's exploration of human experience and existential struggle, setting it apart from Lewis's later, more Christian-influenced writings.
