Lewis Webb spent his career at Old Dominion University. When he joined the faculty there in the early 1930s as a physics professor it was a small, struggling branch of William and Mary and was known as the Norfolk Division. The relationship with the college at Williamsburg during his tenure as a faculty member and head of the Norfolk institution from 1947 to 1969 are described here.College of William and Mar
The Son and the other stars: Christology and cosmology in the imagination of C.S. Lewis
No full textThis dissertation treats the theory and practice of C. S. Lewis's theological imagination,
focussing upon the imaginative use he made of his professional expertise in medieval and
renaissance literature. Its approach is principally expository rather than an evaluative.
Chapter One outlines the centrality of the imagination to a proper understanding of Lewis's
works.
Chapter Two examines Lewis's own theory of imagination and surveys how he practised it
as a literary critic. We compare and contrast Lewis's theory and practice of imagination
with that of his friend, the theologian, Austin Faffer.
Chapter Three looks in more detail at Lewis's imaginative practice, in particular his
fascination with the images supplied by the seven planets of the Ptolemaic cosmos, which
he termed 'spiritual symbols of permanent value'. We analyse what he meant by 'sprit'
and 'symbol'.
Chapter Four introduces the main argument of the dissertation namely that these seven
spiritual symbols structure the works for which Lewis is best known, the seven 'Chronicles
of Narnia'. We claim to have uncovered the governing imaginative blueprint of the septet.
We address Lewis's capacity for and interest in secrecy and consider why this planetary
theme has remained hitherto undetected.
In Chapters Five to Eleven we take the seven planets in turn and trace the use Lewis made
of them through out his writings. We analyse the planetary symbolism undergirding each
Chronicle and conclude each chapter with an exegesis of the Christological message of each
book so understood.
Chapter Twelve examines factors which motivated Lewis to focus his imaginative energies
upon Ptolemaic cosmology and suggests one particular occasioning factor behind the
composition of the Chronicles. In addition, we consider theological and pedagogical reasons
why he kept silent about the planetary theme. We conclude by indicating certain
consequences that our argument has for future readings of these seven works
Reactions of Arylcarbenes with Lewis Acids
No full textThe reactions of the three triplet ground state arylcarbenes diphenylcarbene 1, fluorenylidene 2, and dibenzocycloheptadienylidene 3 with the Lewis acids H2O, ICF3, and BF3 were studied under the conditions of matrix isolation. H2O was selected as typical hydrogen bond donor, ICF3 as halogen bond donor, and BF3 as strong Lewis acid. H2O forms hydrogen-bonded complexes of the singlet carbenes with 1 and 2, but not with 3. This is rationalized by the larger singlet-triplet gap of 3, which does not allow to stabilize the singlet state below the triplet state by hydrogen bonding. With ICF3, both 1 and 3 form halogen-bonded complexes of the singlet states of the carbenes. This indicates that halogen bonding stabilizes singlet carbenes more than hydrogen bonding. Carbene 2 reacts differently from 1 and 3 by forming an iodonium ylide, thus avoiding antiaromatic destabilization of the fluorenyl unit. With BF3, all three carbenes form zwitterionic Lewis acid/base complexes
