Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics
"Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics" by C. S. Lewis is a poetry collection published in 1919. Lewis's first published work, written at age twenty under a pseudonym after returning from World War I, presents a worldview strikingly different from his later writings. Divided into three sections—The Prison House, Hesitation, and The Escape—these poems explore themes of spiritual imprisonment, nature's cruelty, and human disappointment from an agnostic perspective, incorporating mythology and wartime imagery throughout.
