Nonetheless, the book is a real “page-turner.” Unfortunately, as I will show below, he either ignores some evidence and overcooks other lines of evidence. ![]() The chapters form a relatively continuous narrative with Lewis at the center.Ĭarpenter isn’t afraid to explore some ambiguous and sometimes troubling aspects of their personal lives. It isn’t simply a snapshot of different inklings (e.g., Lewis, Tolkien, Williams, Barfield). Humphrey Carpenter tells the story of the group of Christian literati who worked in the university setting in pre-World War II England. ![]()
