jgduesing's review against another edition
5.0
As editor Thomas Martin says, many English teachers and students have come to "value Lewis as a guide to literature" (9). Indeed, and this book serves as a guide for how to enlist Lewis as a guide.
Aside from a valuable chronological overview of Lewis's interaction with centuries of literature, one helpful chapter presents a picture of what Lewis was like as a professor. Carolyn Keefe gives several anecdotes of Lewis's pedagogy and the ways he would both challenge and encourage his students.
This book has pointed me again to read the works that Lewis read to gain a greater appreciation and admiration for all of Lewis's own works and the ways they would marshal literature in the purpose of illuminating the Great Author.
