Screwtape Proposes a Toast and Other Pieces
For For readers who want Screwtape's after-dinner speech with a handful of Lewis's best addresses; most of it appears in other collections.
A collection published by Collins in London in 1965 as a Fontana paperback, with a preface by Jocelyn Gibb. It opens with 'Screwtape Proposes a Toast', Lewis's return to the senior devil of The Screwtape Letters, who addresses a graduating college of tempters and satirises modern education and the debasement of democracy. The other pieces are 'The Inner Ring', 'Is Theology Poetry?', 'On Obstinacy in Belief', 'Transposition', 'The Weight of Glory', 'Good Work and Good Works' and 'A Slip of the Tongue', a short sermon on prayer. All but the last had appeared in earlier collections such as The World's Last Night and They Asked for a Paper.
