| Summary: | The essayists and writers C. S. Lewis and Charles Williams collected the mythical Matter of Britain. They expressed it dually through Arthurian legends and the categorization of magic by means of the division between white magic and black magic. In the latter case, they respected the proper division of the myths of the magical arts between theurgy and goetia — natural magic and demonic magic — such as the Renaissance Platonic Academy of Florence argued. This reception of the myth is clearly captured in the works of C. S. Lewis, That Hideous Strength, and Charles Williams, War in Heaven. These fictional frames become a mythopoetic exercise that links Arthurian and magical myths to answer perennial questions about the human condition from a metaphysical and transcendent foundation. Los ensayistas y literatos C. S. Lewis y Charles Williams recogieron la Materia de Bretaña, con su valor mítico, y lo plasmaron dualmente a través de las leyendas artúricas y la categorización de la magia a través de la división convencional entre magia blanca y magia negra. En este último supuesto, respetaron la división propia de los mitos de las artes mágicas entre teúrgia y goetia —magia natural y magia demoníaca— en continuidad con los planteamientos de la renacentista Academia Platónica de Florencia. Esta recepción del mito aparece nítidamente en las obras de C. S. Lewis, Esa horrible fortaleza, y de Charles Williams, Guerra en el cielo. Se trata de marcos de ficción, donde realizan un ejercicio mitopoético que vincula los mitos artúricos y mágicos para responder desde un fundamento metafísico y trascendente a preguntas perennes de la condición humana. |
