C.S. Lewis’s Modernist Moment: Taking up the Gauntlet in “Poem for Psychoanalysts and/or Theologians”
2025
C.S. Lewis’s poetry has always been understudied, and one reason has been his perceived traditionalism and animus against literary modernism. “Poem for Psychoanalysts and/ or Theologians,” however, is one of Lewis’s rare texts that exemplify his “modernist moment.” That is to say, this text contains a formal ambiguity unusual for Lewis, one that supports two equally valid (but mutually incompatible) interpretations of primal human experience, one psychoanalytic, the other theological. This interpretation requires that we separate “Poem” from the version he published as “The World is Round” in 1940. Yet the reason Lewis sought to employ modernist techniques of ambiguity in the first place is because he wished to articulate his own long history wrestling with psychoanalytic thought, both on an intellectual and a personal level. Read in this light, “Poem” becomes one of Lewis’s most formally nuanced and thematically ambitious poetic endeavors.

Lord David Cecil, 83, Historian and Writer
1986
His writings were not given to conventional academic scholarship or critical theory but dwelled instead directly on the characteristics of writers he admired and their works. Nevertheless, he spent much of his life at Oxford University, where he was professor of English literature from 1948 to 1969 and a popular lecturer.

\"What he'd basically done is that he'd tunnelled into their [Platform Networks'] system, he had bypassed their firewalls, he'd also bypassed all of their security systems,\" Assistant Commissioner Neil Gaughan told ABC TV's 7.30. \"We believe, and again we won't really know until we've had a chance to speak to him, that he's actually intentionally bragging on the internet and doesn't want to actually take it down because his - you know, control is power if you like and at this stage he's controlling that system.\" \"It's certainly not ideal, however, we've been able to assist the Federal Police in protecting a fairly large number of businesses in Australia and overseas so it's obviously a good news story for everybody.

2013
Text of report by Anthony Wesaka entitled \"British film producer challenges his expulsion from Uganda\" published by leading privately-owned Ugandan newspaper The Daily Monitor website on 29 May In the petition, Mr [David Cecil Edward Hugh] says the Internal Affairs Minister did not give reasons why he branded him an \"undesirable\" person before ordering his deportation back to his home country, UK, yet he is not a criminal. \"The process used by the Minister of Internal Affairs to declare the applicant (Mr Cecil) an \"undesirable\" person and his subsequent deportation was high handed and arbitrary as the applicant was never accorded any fair treatment before, during and after making the deportation order,\" Mr Cecil's petition reads in part.

Further, the court also ordered that Mr [David Cecil Edward Hugh]'s 500,000 shillings [188 dollars] bail money and passport be returned.

The controversial play was due to be staged at the National Theatre in Kampala by the 'Tilapia Cultural Centre' group. In his e-mail to the council, Mr Cecil is reported to have stated that the play was simply about power, politics, friendship, betrayal, religion, sexuality and the media and that the organizers believed that it would not anger the public.

Thrown out of Africa for staging a gay play - but desperate to return again

Cecil, David
2013
\"They saw me as a cultural imperialist,\" [David Cecil] says. \"The intention of the play was to have a conversation about these issues in the safety of theatre.\" He says he did not expect such an extreme reaction, because \"It is a play. It is fiction.\" Cecil says Uganda remains his favourite East African country because it has \"a good balance between liberty and African culture\". Currently, the Uganda Penal Code, while not directly outlawing homosexuality, criminalises \"unnatural offences.\" Anti-gay rights activists have used the law to mount a crusade against homosexuality. Cecil's opinions on gay rights, which he describes as \"complicated\", have brought him on a collision course with both human rights activists, who believe he is not committed enough to the cause, and the Ugandan government. \"I think people who support homosexuality do not understand the anxiety in African countries about the disintegration of the family,\" he says.

David Cecil has been forced to leave behind everything, including his girlfriend of six years and two children aged two and one. \"That is agony, it's tough,\" he said. \"It is really upsetting for me.\" Cecil said he was determined to fight and return. \"My life is there: my family, my work, everything. It's a lovely country, it's home,\" he said. \"It is such a brilliant place, such a cool society.\" Written by British playwright Beau Hopkins, the play was funded through wefund.com. Cecil went through a long procedure to get permission to stage the play, something he was first told he did not need. In one interview, he was repeatedly asked who was \"really\" behind the venture, with a suggestion that someone like \"Peter Tatchell was pumping money in to my pockets\".
