Скачать или смотреть This Life Is Merely The First Page: The Great Divorce | Elizabeth Hardy

Welcome to Episode 7 of 9 in our series on C.S. Lewis's novel, "The Great Divorce." Join us as we explore the ideas presented by Lewis in this fantastic tale, a dream vision, written in response (according to Lewis) to William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell."

Today's conversation features Elizabeth Baird Hardy. Elizabeth is Instructor of English at western North Carolina’s Mayland Community College. In addition to composition and literature courses, she teaches humanities courses including Myth in Human Culture and Introduction to Film.

She is the author of Milton, Spenser, and the Chronicles of Narnia: Literary Sources for the C.S. Lewis Novels. (https://www.amazon.com/Milton-Spenser...)

She also frequently writes literary and popular culture criticism and has contributed to numerous collections focusing on the work of C.S. Lewis, and J.K. Rowling, and well as on topics as diverse as The Hunger Games and Star Trek.

A popular presenter, she contributes to a variety of programs and podcasts and might be found sharing about eighteenth-century medicinal plants, World War II Victory Gardens, or literary alchemy, depending on the day.

In this conversation, Elizabeth and I discuss the ongoing recovery in her hometown from Hurricane Helene, the coincidence of our recording on the date of C.S. Lewis's death (and JFK's assassination), the revelation of Charlotte's Web, the pitiful tiny-ness of Hell, and the overwhelming solid bigness of Heaven.
