Fr Michael Ward’s book Planet Narnia, a book which explores the astrological artistry of C. S. Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, has been the subject of several HogwartsProfessor posts and the inspiration of many more. He has written a new book, this one an ancillary text to Lewis’ Abolition of Man, Ward’s book being titled After Humanity.
I confess that I have not yet read it. I have no doubt, nonetheless, that Fr Michael’s gloss on one of if not the most important of Lewis’s books is an invaluable guide to that work’s historical context, its meaning, and its continuing relevance today.
Chris Calderon sent me these helpful links to sites and online events that Lewis and Ward fans will enjoy:
- After Humanity: A Guide to C.S. Lewis’s The Abolition of Man, by Michael Ward.
- Official Website: contains overview, synopses, video resources (scroll down for more info), etc. Purchase the book on this page and the publishers will include a copy of Abolition Of Man for free.
- Official Launch Party (featuring: Dr. David C. Downing and Marjorie Lamp Meade).
