Welcome, Kyle DeCiccio-Carey to In-Focus Podcast Number 132! Kyle is the Library Director at the Millicent Library in Fairhaven, Massachusetts, and will be speaking with us about celebrated Fairhaven resident and painter Lemuel D. Eldred. This is the first of five, Fairhaven Cultural Council grant-supported podcasts with Kyle who will be telling us about some of the town's artists from days gone by. Lemuel Eldred is a great artist to begin this mini-series of podcasts! Lemuel was born and raised in Fairhaven, Massachusetts. The town shares the harbor with New Bedford. He was a marine painter and etcher and had studied with another outstanding Fairhaven painter, William Bradford, and for a short time, at the Academie Julian in Paris (1880). Eldred's work is typical of the late Hudson River School. He moved to Boston in 1876 to establish a studio. Lemuel Eldred was a sought-after and quite popular marine painter. He much enjoyed Bradford's Quaker beliefs and manner but did not join Bradford in his exploratory polar expeditions. His work may be seen in Fairhaven Town Hall, The Millicent Library, the Peabody Essex Museum in Salem, Massachusetts, the New Bedford Whaling Museum, and the Kendall Whaling Museum.

Starting in 1931 (Lewis was born in 1898), Lewis became a lifetime attendee at Sunday services at his parish church (Scripture and Sacrament) and at the daily Morning Prayer in the College Chapel at 8 AM. This Morning Prayer included the singing of some Psalms (different each day) by the College Choir, often a boys' choir of highest excellence. Walter Hooper (1931-2020), the incomparable editor of all of Lewis' writings, wrote: “By a constant reading of the Psalter, Lewis came to know the Psalms almost by heart. Sometimes he read the Bible on its own, but it was through the continuous reading and praying of Morning and Evening Prayer that he came to know the Bible and the Psalms so well…. He used the translation of the Psalms found in the Book of Common Prayer.”
The Great Divorce: A Dream (1945). Warnie, Lewis' brother, writing in his diary for 16 April 1933: “Jack has a new idea for a religious work, based on the opinion of some of the Fathers [i.e., the Fathers of the Church – the greatest of the Christian teachers in the early centuries of Christianity], that while punishment for the damned is eternal, if is intermittent. He proposes to do sort of an infernal [i.e., something to do with Hell] day-excursion to Paradise. I shall be very interested to see how he handles it.” (This reference from Walter Hooper.)
Till We Have Faces: A Myth Retold (1956). Walter Hooper, quoting Lewis about this novel that he wrote so late in his life (he died in November 1963): “This re-interpretation of an old story has lived in the author's mind, thickening and hardening with the years, ever since he was an undergraduate. That way, he could be said to have worked at it most of his life.”

For Part I of Session #7: A Portrait of a Literary Artist (C.S. Lewis), we will discuss The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism (1933). Walter Hooper, Lewis' great Assistant and Literary Executor of all of Lewis' works, writes: “Lewis' first prose work, The Pilgrim's Regress, was an attempt to explain the elusive experience he called JOY, and the part that it played in his conversion [to a humble acknowledgement of God, and eventually to “mere” Christianity].”
