⁵² The book is Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics which was published on 20 March 1919 under the pseudonym ‘Clive Hamilton’. Mr Lewis and Warren had read the manuscript of it, and on 28 January Warren wrote to his father saying: ‘While I am in complete agreement with you as to the excellence of parts of ‘IT’S’ book, I am of opinion that it would have been better if it had never been published. Even at 23 one realizes that the opinions and convictions of 20 are transient things. Jack’s Atheism is I am sure purely academic, but even so, no useful purpose is served by endeavouring to advertise oneself as an atheist. Setting aside the higher problems involved, it is obvious that a profession of a Christian belief is as necessary a part of a man’s mental make up as a belief in the King, the Regular Army, and the Public Schools.’ Spirits in Bondage was reprinted under Lewis’s name in the United States by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich in 1984.
