| Shrnutí: | Both C.S. Lewis and Madeleine L’Engle stand as examples of mid twentieth-century writers who believe in the power of Love, and of the spiritual world in contradiction of all the Modernist tendency to cast fiction in a setting of bleak, existential nihilism. This study compares characterization and themes primarily in Lewis’ The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe and L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time. The study traces the development of young characters, being outside the adult world and thrown on their own devices, who must fight desperate battles for the cause of Love and freedom, and goodness, and the growth in spiritual and personal maturity they experience as a result of these battles. |
