• W2599160914 abstract "WOMEN AND LEWIS: WHAT HIS LIFE AND LITERATURE REVEAL FOR TODAY'S CULTURE. Carolyn Curtis and Mary Pomroy Key, eds. Lion Hudson, 2015. 287 p. ISBN 978-0-7459-5694-7. $17.95. MORE THAN FIFTY YEARS AFTER HIS DEATH, THE WRITINGS OF Lewis continue to instruct and inspire readers ranging from children to accomplished scholars. The accusation that Lewis was sexist, or even misogynistic, also remains in circulation after all this time. The issue has been addressed before, but primarily by academics in books for academics. Editors Carolyn Curtis and Mary Pomroy Key seek to present a more accessible evaluation of Lewis's attitude toward women in both his personal and his literary works, and to examine his continuing relevance in light of current issues. To that end, they have collected essays from educators, poets, authors of fiction, popular speakers, a journalist, and a childhood correspondent of Lewis, as well as some of the most highly respected living Lewis scholars. The book is divided into five sections, in which contributors offer insight into the women in Lewis's life, the portrayal of girls and women in his novels, the treatment of the feminine in his poetry, the effect of Lewis's and literature on twenty-first century understanding of women's roles and rights, and the impact his views of women have had on current-generation thinkers. One: Lewis, the man--and the women in his life is made up of seven chapters. In the first of these, Crystal Hurd does an admirable job of fleshing out Flora Lewis, previously known to many only as the mother Lewis lost in childhood. This brief biographical sketch does much to inform the reader of the foundation she laid for her sons' intellectual and spiritual development. It is, in my opinion, the most informative essay in this opening section. It is followed by Paul McCusker's exploration of the relationship between Lewis and Mrs. Janie Moore. The chapter discloses no new information to those familiar with Lewis's story, but does tease out connections between the young man's home and his living arrangement with the older woman, and highlights Lewis's strong sense of duty and service, both in his relationship with Mrs. Moore and in his writings. In the third chapter, Lyle W. Dorsett presents a concise, well-developed biography of Joy Davidman, examining the impact of Lewis's published works and personal letters on her conversion, and culminating in their friendship and eventual marriage. Don W. King's essay presents a scant biographical sketch of Ruth Pitter but adequately outlines her relationship with Lewis and then contrasts her personality with Joy Davidman's. In Chapter Five, Crystal A. Downing offers a well-written examination of Lewis's friendship with Dorothy L. Sayers and their influence on each other's work. Disappointingly, Chapter Six, by Alister McGrath, titled On Tolkien, the Inklings--and Lewis' blindness to gender, focuses primarily on the Inklings, mentioning the writer's female friends and his gender-blindness in only one short paragraph near the end of the piece. Section One closes with the preposterously titled C.S. Lewis and the friends who apparently couldn't really have been his friends, but actually were, an index-like listing compiled by Colin Duriez of nine women--four of whom were dealt with individually in previous chapters--with whom Lewis had some connection. Two: Lewis, the fiction author--how girls and women are portrayed in his novels is, I believe, the meatiest part of the book. In the first chapter, Devin Brown neatly defends The Chronicles of Narnia against popular accusations of sexism. Next, Steven Elmore provides us with a close look at the characterization of females in The Space Trilogy, noting the strength and intelligence of Perelandra's queen, Tinidril, and Jane Studdock's inclusion and growth in the Fellowship of St. Anne's in That Hideous Strength. …" @default.
