822, Dewey:
What is the Dewey Decimal number 822?
822 would be English drama and 824 indicates English essays. As you can see and as mentioned before, the more specific the number gets, the more specific a topic is.

The delicious thing is, C. S. Lewis was as a professor in Cambridge doing English Medieval and Renaissance Literature, specifically EXCLUDING drama. He hated Ben Johnson and some ...
But he knew them.
Meanwhile, C. S. Lewis is 822.

OK, but 538 isn't 822? No, but that was just the upper case actual letters. Each lower case (there are four) as well as each space (two) is 32 (more than the uppercase or simply), while each full stop is 46.
6 * 32 + 2 * 46 = 284
284 + 538 = 822
Recall, when he was a boy, he wanted to write (in English) a Greek drama called Loki bound ... all of it with stasima and the other typical parts of an Attic drama. Expressing a very English agreement with Epicure's dilemma. In a sense he spent lots of his adult life replying to what Loki would have said in that drama./HGL
