The Great C. S. Lewis Re-Read
In 2024, I’ll be re-reading all of C. S. Lewis’ published writings, in chronological order. Subscribe to my newsletter if you want a weekly update on this reading journey. If you’re interested in the list of texts I’m reading or the schedule I’m following, read on. The texts are listed chronologically, and I’ve included a week-by-week schedule at the end.
Chronological List of C. S. Lewis’ Writings
Lewis wrote a great deal, and the creation of this list took considerable effort. I am indebted to a number of online resources, including Jeff Wofford’s “A Chronological Reading Guide to the Works of C. S. Lewis,” with its accompanying spreadsheet; Arend Smilde’s account “A History of C. S. Lewis’s Collected Shorter Writings, 1939–2000” in the Journal of Inklings Studies and its list of short writings; and Brenton Dickieson’s “How You Can Read C. S. Lewis Chronologically.” After completing my read-through, I discovered Joel Heck’s amazing “Chronologically Lewis” project, which would have been invaluable in putting this schedule together.
If you notice any omissions or errors, don’t hesitate to contact me.
One can accumulate all the published prose through a variety of essay collections. I have not tried to sort out the optimal combination; my goal was to spend as little as possible, given the volumes I already own.
