When all of Perelandra meets on a hillside to coronate the King, Tor tells Ransom, "[this is] the beginning of the Great Game, of the Great Dance" (Perelandra 214). sometimes known as the "space trilogy": Out of the Silent Planet 1938, Perelandra, 1943 and That Hideous Strength 1946 and the time-fragment entitled The Dark Tower 1977. In the course of the next few years, Lewis wrote the first of his adult science-fiction novels, Out of the Silent Planet and Perelandra, reading them to the Inklings as he went along, but Tolkien took longer over the story of Bilbo Baggins, and read it to nobody but his children. |
