Link Labyrinth

For me, an entirely unexpected dimension of blogging has been the links. Reading about CS Lewis' attitude to sf, I posted "Which works by Poul Anderson might CS Lewis have liked?" (here) Then, linking this post to all previous blog posts about Lewis, I found posts that I had entirely forgotten:

a passage in Lewis' Perelandra is relevant to Anderson's The Night Face (see here);

Lewis wrote a poem critical of interstellar empires as described by, e.g., Asimov and Anderson (see here);

on the Personal and Literary Reflections blog, Lewis' Trilogy is listed as one of several fictional sequels to the Bible (see here);

a network of links connects Anderson and Lewis to Neil Gaiman, Mike Carey and SM Stirling;

an Anderson short story has the same title and theme as a work of Christian apologetics by Lewis (see here);

we can leave fiction and, on another blog, directly discuss "Philosophical Disagreements with CS Lewis" (see here);

Lewis, like Anderson, follows Wells and Stapledon but, in Lewis' case, it is in order to disagree with such secularist sf writers, not to perpetuate their vision of an anthropocentric future.

This and more can be found either by following the links or by scrolling up and down the blogs. Since some of it surprises me, I hope that it also surprises and interests other page viewers.

(We will shortly drive out to view that eclipse.)
