Think of his background & the society he lived in, the friends he had (Lewis, Barfield, Williams, etc). I don't think he contemplated a wide 'readership' at all - most of the time during the writing of it & in the years he spent trying to get it published - he felt it would never be read by 'the public' at all. In short, he wasn't writing for others, but principally for himself.
