An Informal Poll

I have a paper due soon in my Age of Chivalry class. It needs to be about ten pages long and needs to explore some aspect of Medieval thought and literature. I am currently thinking about looking at That Hideous Strength as a Medieval Allegory in light of C.S. Lewis’ work in The Allegory of [...]
