Synopsis: Even after he achieved world-wide fame through books such as The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and The Screwtape Letters, the Belfast-born author C.S. Lewis – often regarded as uncomplicatedly English by critics and the general public – proudly and regularly described himself as Irish. What&’s more, he frequently incorporated Irish elements into his work. This includes, for example, numerous allusions to Irish mythology, the repeated employment of Hiberno-English and Ulster Scots words and expressions, and a preference for tropes frequently found in Irish (and sometimes specifically Ulster Protestant) writing.
