Under what pseudonym did C.S. Lewis publish Dymer in 1926?

C.S. Lewis published Dymer in 1926 under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton.

Dymer is a long narrative poem about a monstrous son who becomes involved in violence, desire, and rebellion. Lewis published it after Spirits in Bondage, his first poetry collection, and retained the same pseudonym for both books. The name combined his first name, Clive, with Hamilton, a surname he used as a literary disguise.

Lewis’s use of Clive Hamilton helped separate his early poetry from his later public identity as C.S. Lewis. He eventually became widely known by his initials, while his birth name was Clive Staples Lewis.

The pseudonym is sometimes confused with N.W. Clerk, the name Lewis used for a later autobiographical work, Surprised by Joy. Lewis also wrote fiction and criticism under his own initials, so identifying the publication and date is important when distinguishing his author names.
