<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; background: white;">60 years on from the death of CS Lewis how is his legacy viewed? We&rsquo;ll look at him as writer, academic and as a Christian apologist. Join us to find out why he is like camembert and to discover the hidden Lewis novel that you've probably not read - and yet it is arguably his best work for adults. Why has he attracted detractors, from his own biographer A.N. Wilson to Philip Pullman - and what are they missing? Was he racist or misogynistic? We debate! But mostly, we appreciate his literary gift to us in the Narnia stories.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;">For more information on the Oxford Centre for Fantasy, our writing courses, and to check out our awesome social media content visit:</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;">Website: </span><a href="https://centre4fantasy.com/website"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; background: white;">https://centre4fantasy.com/website</span></a><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;">Instagram: </span><a href="https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; background: white;">https://centre4fantasy.com/Instagram</span></a><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;">Facebook: </span><a href="https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; background: white;">https://centre4fantasy.com/Facebook</span></a><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;"> </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;">TikTok: </span><a href="https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; background: white;">https://centre4fantasy.com/tiktok</span></a><span style="font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;"> </span></p>
