The Chronicles of Narnia and the Hero‘s Journey

I revisit the Chronicles of Narnia and do a deep dive into C.S. Lewis’s deconstruction of Campbell’s hero’s journey and other genre conventions of children's fantasy adventure books. I also discuss the role of literary criticism and try hard to avoid getting sidetracked by character arcs, controversies, and Narnian jokes.
