In both his fiction and non-fiction, Lewis comments on myth, its characteristics and strengths, and its relation to Christian doctrine. His use of myth to examine and to illustrate Christian ideas is most important in the space trilogy, the Narnia series of children's books, and Till We Have Faces. These books are the primary sources for this thesis, and they will be examined in chronological order.

C. S. Lewis is best known as the author of The Chronicles of Narnia, but Lewis’s poetry tends to be treated separately from his other works, or as an antecedent to his more famous prose works. This thesis shows that Lewis’s paradoxical views of literary history, cultural death, reason and imagination are reflected in his narrative poems. George Watson says that Lewis was “a paradoxical thing, a conservative iconoclast, and he came to the task well-armed” (1). He is both a traditionalist and a rebel against his times. I explain Lewis’s paradoxes in terms of the concepts of history, memory, reason and imagination, and show that Lewis’s position was a negotiation of his own historical and cultural context. Lewis’s poems and scholarly work indicate that his approach to historical terms is first to underline divergence, and then to emphasize a use of seemingly polarized terms in order to unify them.

Otros asuntos corolarios, subyacentes a éste, tales como el análisis literario de la obra, la materialidad del texto por medio de la presencia de paratextos editoriales – que representan el perfil del público lector que los editores tenían en mente – las cuatro traducciones nacionales que circularon en el país en el período de 1964 a 2009, sus lecturas, sus lectores y los ecos que la obra ocasionó componen la estructura de este trabajo. Las principales estrategias utilizadas fueron la investigación bibliográfica, el contacto con las editoriales y el acceso al sitio de la red social de lectores denominada Skoob. Concluimos que existe interés en la lectura del texto entre brasileños, sin embargo, el mercado editorial necessita exponerlo de manera más audaz, con estrategias más eficaces, aumentando el tiraje de impresión y actuando de forma eficiente en las nuevas plataformas de lectura, con el fin de garantizar su inclusión entre los más jóvenes. / A presente pesquisa tem por objetivo identificar como o livro The Screwtape Letters (1942) do escritor britânico Clive Staples Lewis (1898 – 1963) foi recebida no Brasil à luz da História da Leitura, mormente os trabalhos do pesquisador francês Roger Chartier, numa perspectiva diacrônica. Outras questões corolárias, subjacentes a essa, tais como a análise literária da obra, a materialidade do texto por meio da presença de paratextos editoriais, perfazendo o perfil do público leitor alvo dos editores, as quatro traduções nacionais que circularam no país no período de 1964 a 2014, suas leituras, seus leitores e os ecos que a obra suscitou compõem o arcabouço deste trabalho. As principais estratégias encontradas foram a pesquisa bibliográfica, contato com as editoras e acesso ao site de relacionamento entre leitores denominado Skoob. Concluiu-se que há interesse na leitura do texto entre os brasileiros, no entanto, o mercado editorial precisa expô-lo de maneira mais audaciosa, com estratégias mais eficazes aumentando sua tiragem e atuando de forma eficiente nas novas plataformas de leitura, a fim de garantir sua inserção entre os mais jovens.
