C. S. Lewis

Arts & Literature

“This is not just another book on Lewis. Neither hagiography nor demolition, this is a balanced, independent, insightful study of an author who has delighted and instructed hosts of readers of the most varied backgrounds and interests. Adey's emphasis is on the writings themselves, which he examines closely in terms of literary type and intended audience. He also undertakes to account for the extraordinary range and variety of Lewis's writing by a thoughtful examination of the many influences — personal, literary, and intellectual — that helped shape this most varied and versatile of writers. An impressive achievement.”
