The collection includes some of Lewis's thoughts on literary topics and people along with some of his thinking about the social sciences. He also addresses subects as diverse as theology, the obstinacy of belief, Sir Walter Scott, Hamlet, and Kipling. One of the most important essays that appears in They Asked for a Paper is Lewis's inaugural address at the University of Cambridge, entitled "De Descriptione Temporum," Latin for "On a Description of the Times." In the lecture he argued that the most important historical date was not the division between medieval times and the Renaissance but 1830 which was what he termed the beginning of the Age of Enlightenment. They Asked for a Paper was Lewis's last book to be published in his lifetime.
