Just as we can explore Narnia and Middle-earth, there is a way-of-seeing amongst the Inklings that is attractive and has a kind of homeliness, despite the choking tobacco smoke and half empty glasses on table surfaces swimming with ale and cider. Their way-of-seeing is often challenging to us as moderns, because in their own ways they are intent on undeceiving us . They see us as needing a perspective from outside of ourselves to see both the strengths and weaknesses of our own period. (en) |
