1 Kate Hambly ENG 3372 The Inklings Dorothy L. Sayers, J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis were Oxfordian intellectuals who pursued creative and spiritual discourse, approached complex topics with excitement, and created works that remain influential. Individually, their philosophical writings are noteworthy and educational. Yet their works weren t produced in a vacuum: the use of community, for feedback, inspiration, and even criticism is what led to their greatest success. Dorothy L. Sayers was born in Christ Church Cathedral School in Oxford in 1893, in early summer. At the school, Sayers father worked a chaplain and instructor. Growing up in a small village, Sayers was influenced by her environment, later naming characters and storylines after a nearby graveyard and the local river. Her education culminated with her honors from a university in Oxford in 1915 (rather than a degree) because women though given admission, scholarships, and course instruction could not officially be awarded a degree. 1 Sayers had a passion for intellectual discourse, taking pride in her classical translations and traveling abroad to work as a teacher. Her translation of Dante s Divine Comedy indicates her creativity and boldness in her unusual although authentic diction. Sayers experience as a teacher formed the basis of an essay on the classical school of educational thought which led to a reformed standard American education. Her avid engagement with intellectual matters is also evident in her religious writings which reflect her own experiences in addition to exploring logical and doctrinal truths. 1 Sayers died in December of 1957, eventually having received her undergraduate and master s degrees and leaving a legacy of nearly one-hundred influential works. 2
2 Hambly 2 John Ronald Reuel Tolkien more commonly known as J.R.R. Tolkien was born in South Africa to an English banking family in A holiday to England was extended following the sudden death of Tolkien s father, rather forcibly repatriating the family. Tolkien was taught by his mother at home, allowed to self-guide his education. He read extensively and explored the towns surround his grandparents village. Tolkien s mother converted to Catholicism when he was young. His view of religion was likely affected by his Baptist extended family s outright rejection of Mabel Tolkien s decision. She, like her late husband, ultimately died of disease. Tolkien and his brother were orphaned at a young age, and cared for by a Catholic Father, a close friend of Mabel s. It is to this man that Tolkien attributes his early instruction in morality and kindness. The theme of religious tension was consistent throughout Tolkien s life. He, like his mother and guardian, was a Catholic, yet he fell in love with an older, Protestant woman. Forbidden from engaging in conversation or marriage with this woman, Tolkien waited years to express his affects for Edith Mary Bratt, though the two ultimately married. She converted to Catholicism, and experienced repercussions that mirrored Mabel Tolkien s. Tolkien was also influence by his introduction to constructed language a concept that impacted his approach to creativity and world-building in his later writings. Like Sayers, Tolkien reflected on his travels and experiences within his writing. Like Sayers, Tolkien studied at a university in Oxford; unlike Sayers, Tolkien graduated in 1915 with honors as well as a degree. Tolkien fought in the Great War, somewhat begrudgingly, and used coded letters to communicate his location to his wife, Edith. His experiences in the war reflect a common
3 Hambly 3 theme of class breakdown and appreciation for universal suffering. Tolkien died in September of 1973 and was buried with his wife. 3 Clive Staples Lewis better known as C.S. Lewis was born in late November in Ireland as the second son and child of a Welsh-Irish family. Enamored by anthropomorphic animals, Lewis loved Beatrix Potter s creatures and was inspired to create his own ( C.S. Lewis 4). This influence on his writing is obvious by the image Lewis had of a fawn that was the inspiration for the Chronicles of Narnia series. Fascinated by nature and mythology, Lewis was driven to write about many of his experiences. While Lewis was known for his fiction writing, he was also acclaimed for his spiritual writings. Originally raised in a religious home, he rejected faith but was frustrate by this result. Lewis, it seems, never entirely rejected the idea of a higher power, but was periodically frustrated by the lack of logic in the entire system. Like many young people, Lewis is described as finding much of religiosity a dull chore rather than an expression of the soul. His eventual conversion was nothing akin to Augustine s immediate and total faith; Lewis very gradually accepted the concept of a higher power, and faith, and specific religion. It is this arduous process of conversion which interests me the most about Lewis, and which likely influenced his intentionally-non-denominational apologetic writings. Lewis died in late November 1963, overshadowed by the death of famed author Aldous Huxley and the assassination of American President John F. Kennedy. 4 During his lifetime, Lewis was friends with Tolkien, the latter serving as a major influence on the former s eventual conversion, though they worshipped under different denominations. Tolkien s The Lord of the Rings series was one of the first works discussed by the all-male group of writers, the Inklings. 5 They were a social group, but also served
4 Hambly 4 as the first ears of one another s work. This wasn t the first group with a literary focus: During their time at Oxford, Sayers infrequently attended meetings with Lewis at the Oxford Socratic Club, a space intended for intellectual argument. 6 Tolkien, too, had a history of establishing social places to discuss ideas; in his youth, Tolkien created a semi-secret group with his teenage friends. 3 Yet the Inklings were a unique bunch because of their literary clout. The group met for sixteen years, first organized only a couple years after Lewis conversion to Christianity. 7 The authors works often dealt with religious themes and faith, even their fictional writing. These three authors the primary focus of our Oxford Christians course were united not only by their geographical proximity, but by their education and pursuit of intellectual and spiritual growth. They were friends, critics, and the source of inspiration for each other: Lewis dedicated his Screwtape Letters to Tolkien; Tolkien was critical of what he saw as excessively-overt Christian themes and lack of subtlety in Lewis Narnia series; 8 and during Lewis final year teaching, his review of Tolkien s Fellowship of the Ring was widely published. 9 The two friends had drastically different approaches to writing, as well. Lewis famously said that the first inspiration for the Narnia series was a mental picture of a fawn, while Tolkien labored over the mythology and intricate history of Middle Earth for nearly two decades. Though Tolkien was instrumental in Lewis reconsideration of religion, the two did not agree on a variety of topics that cropped up in each man s writings. 8 For example, Tolkien disliked the popularization of theology that Lewis engaged in his apologetic writings and audio broadcasts, the former viewing it as a dangerous act for a layman to undertake. 8 Yet these men were united in their general faith and in their fascination of mythology and the genre of myth or fantasy. Tolkien s Rings series was the first major
5 Hambly 5 fantasy book that saw acclaim. Both men wrote pieces targeted not only at children but also intended for the adult reader. The ability to attract such a broad audience was a remarkable feat and a major reason for their individual fame. These authors united the concepts of myth and truth, weaving stories that resonated within their readership. 10 C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien were also friends and critics of Sayers. Like Lewis, Sayers wrote frequently on apologetics, and corresponded with many of the Inklings. 11 She took an alternative approach to her fiction writing; unlike the two men J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis Sayers was fascinated with mysteries and the methods through which they are solved. Her genre of choice was mystery, crime novels and thrillers. Yet in this approach she, too, searched for the answers to life s great questions. As the men complimented stories and myths with universal truths, Sayers united wonderment with fulfillment. These three authors also share a context under which they penned their successful pieces. War was being waged around the globe and people were frightened and confused. Lewis, through his radio broadcasts, spoke to truth and reasoned with his listeners. Sayers wrote essays that contemplated the contemporary state of the Church and its role in current affairs. It s fascinating to readers how these individuals all looked to history as an escape from and, perhaps, a response to the dilemmas of their modern world. 11
