Did CS Lewis really use the term "upperclassmen" to describe senior boys at Malvern? I have only ever heard this term in a US context. Could we substitute a more appropriate word? Or at least provide a link to a definition of upperclassmen?

Date[edit]

The copyright in this Fontana Books edition reads: "First published in 1935 by Geoffrey Bles / First issued in Fontana Books 1959 / Twelfth Impression November 1972". Is this just a typo? Considering that all the sites I've seen say 1955, I'm gonna assume so... Flipping Mackerel (talk) 16:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

"Sehnsucht"[edit]

I wonder if "Sehnsucht" is all that dominant a subject of this book, as it appears from this article. The title, for one thing, clearly derives from Wordsworth, not directly from the German; which, incidentally, would more accurately be "desire," or "longing," as Lewis himself translates the word on page 7 or so: "they taught me longing - Sehnsucht..."(94.65.104.239 (talk) 17:54, 24 July 2013 (UTC))[reply]

Tag at the top[edit]

This article is headed by a tag saying "This article's lead section may not summarize adequately the key points of its contents". I wonder whether this tag is still needed now. Vorbee (talk) 15:52, 25 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
