Dymer

Dymer is a narrative poem by C.S. Lewis, published in 1926 under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton. The poem follows the protagonist, Dymer, who rebels against the constraints of a dystopian city known as 'The Perfect City' at the age of nineteen, embarking on a journey of self-discovery and existential exploration. Although initially met with a lukewarm reception, the poem is notable for its complexity and the profound character development of Dymer, reflecting themes that resonate with Lewis' later works and the influence of George MacDonald.
