Abstract

This discussion of C. S. Lewis's use of allegory focuses on his Space Trilogy, which includes Out of the Silent Planet, Perelandra, and That Hideous Strength The paper begins with a literary biography of Lewis up to and including the Space Trilogy, and then examines the allegory Lewis employs in these three novels. Special consideration is given to the purpose and the effects of the allegory, as well as how, as the trilogy progresses, Lewis changes his techniques in using allegory.
