Donald Hankey : A Student in Arms

'I was very sorry to hear about the death of "A Student in arms", whose book I read last holidays as you may remember. I never met anything exactly like it before, it is wonderfully original and beautiful.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Clive Staples Lewis      Print: Book

  

Donald Hankey : 'Don't Worry'

'Nothing in it however, [ie "A Student in Arms"], if I remember aright, quite reaches the level of this last article, a wise and charming piece of work - and doubly so from the exquisite appropriateness with which it comes from the pen of a man who died a few days after writing it. As you say, there is almost something divine about the way in which he sums up his beliefs and his views on death, just as though he knew the end was coming and meant to finish off his work. The substance of this paper resembles Bernard Shaw's cry, "Why not give Christianity a trial?" - so far at least as the writing of a scholar and a gentleman can resemble that of a Philistine.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Clive Staples Lewis      Print: Serial / periodical

  

Donald Hankey : 'Romance'

'I like last week's "Romance" by the Student in Arms very much - in some ways as much as the other, tho' perhaps you will not agree with me.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Clive Staples Lewis      Print: Serial / periodical
