Q: Religious symbolism of the Telmarines?

Rand al'ThorThe religious symbolism in C.S. Lewis's Narnia books is well known and, in many cases, very clear: Aslan is Jesus, the Calormenes are a very stereotypical portrayal of Muslims, the Dwarfs may represent Jews, and so on. What about the Telmarines, as seen in Prince Caspian? They rule over Narnia a...

I have just now finished the online course William Wordsworth: Poetry, People and Place on FutureLearn, which I highly recommend. However, the course has ended now, so you'll have to wait until it gets repeated - perhaps next year...
