About this Episode

        C. S. Lewis used the German term <em>sehnsucht</em> to describe an inconsolable yearning, <span style="font-family: Andalus,serif">"</span>an unsatisfied desire which is itself more desirable than any other satisfaction.<span style="font-family: Andalus,serif">"</span> Mythgard faculty member Sørina Higgins offered observations about Lewis and <em>sehnsucht</em> in a bonus lecture entitled "The Heraldry of Heaven: The Development of Sehnsucht in the Writings of C. S. Lewis" for the <a href="http://www.mythgard.org/academics/fall-2014-courses/lewis-tolkien/">Tolkien-Lewis Mythgard Institute</a> course. And in the true Mythgard tradition of continuously breaking new ground, this lecture is available free for viewing and/or listening.
