Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics
Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) was born in Ireland, though he spent most of his life in England. He worked for twenty-nine years as an Oxford Fellow and Tutor in English Literature before he received the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature in Cambridge.  His literary output was as diverse as it was frequent, ranging from works of literary criticism to poetry, science-fiction, fantasy, philosophy, theology, and Christian apologetics.  Since his death, C. S. Lewis' status has grown into perhaps the most influential Christian writer of the twentieth century.
