| Abstract | C.S. Lewis emerges from this biography as a blustery, occasionally bullish, but always charming and generous enigma who would have been the first to dispute the excessive proclamations of his virtues. [Wilson] provides a comprehensive account of [Lewis]'s personal life including his childhood yars, which were defined and overshadowed by the untimely death of his mother. The curious bond between Lewis and his friend's mother, Mrs. Moore, as well as his brief marriage to the American divorcee, Joy Davidman, are critically but sensitively treated by Wilson. Unlike many of Lewis's apologists, Wilson does not shrink from mentioning the apparent sexual relationship Lewis maintained with Moore. Wilson also refutes the sentimental view that Lewis's marriage to Davidman concluded as it began: a chaste "business arrangement" that would allow her to retain her residence in London. |
