[Paul Patterson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Incredibly informative book written contemporaneously with the writing career of Lewis. Still relevant critique sixty-two years later. Chad Walsh is a balanced reviewer stating both strengths and weakness of Lewis' writing style. Walsh compares Lewis with other writers of this era including Aldus Huxley, Eliot, Williams, Sayer and others.

I was left with the sense that Lewis while capable of highbrow conversation could also communicate effectively with the human on the street. As for influences Lewis virtually had a Medieval mind and when I say that I do not in any way demean him. The medieval flavour of Lewis is in fact a mindset that we in this post-modern period may learn much from.

Worth reading: Walsh wrote this long before Lewis was buried beneath layers of interpretation.
