Narrative Poems

C. S. Lewis often said that the narrative poem was his favorite form of literary expression, although he appears to have written just four, all of which are collected in this volume. Of these, only "Dymer" was published in his lifetime. These four poems exhibit the romantic aspects of Lewis's temperament and reveal his deep love for the medieval or Renaissance poetry on which they are modeled.
