C.S. Lewis: Reappraisal

I'm going through C.S. Lewis's letters right now, and frankly I find myself appalled at some of the things Lewis said. Lewis seemed to have a fairly virulent dislike of homosexuals, which was only matched by his disdain for communists and the laboring classes. I do understand that Lewis was tormented, possibly in homerotic ways, in his British boarding school experience, and frankly I would not be surprised if Lewis struggled with some sense of sadism or homoeroticism himself (not that I'm equating homosexuality with sadism, just saying Lewis might have.). But I don't think there's a similar excuse for his position on labor.
I'm going to an Episcopal church right now, and so you'd think I would feel closer to Lewis than I did before. And I still do have a certain fascination with the Inklings' charm. Whatever one might say about them, they were great novelists. But I can't escape the feeling that Narnia and Middle Earth were corrupted in some sense, by the very real prejudices Tolkien and Lewis exhibited in their works.
