ReviewsThis is an immensely impressive work. It is what scholarship ought to be perspicacious, *readable*, measured, and exhaustive (in the good scholarly sense of that word). I found myself continually delighted on page after page. Lovers of Dante and Lewis will find themselves surprised by joy. --Thomas Howard, former Professor of English and bestselling author of "Narnia and Beyond: A Guide to the Fiction of C.S. Lewis"", In this well-researched and thoroughly documented study, Daigle-Williamson provides overwhelming evidence that Dante's "Divine Comedy" served as both source and influence for Lewis's fiction. Her work fills a significant gap in C. S. Lewis scholarship, supporting the bold claim that Dante's masterpiece is, in fact, the model for Lewis's fiction. To her credit, the author has created a book that will satisfy, not only literary critics, but general readers and fans of Lewis's fiction looking for a deeper appreciation of Lewis's artistry, theology, and imaginative vision. Gary L. Tandy, Professor of English, George Fox University, Author of "The Rhetoric of Certitude: C. S. Lewis's Nonfiction Prose "", This book is an impressive feat of C.S. Lewis scholarship, both for its theme (the presence of the greatest Christian poetic storyteller in one of the greatest Christian prose storytellers) and for its comprehensive and complete treatment of that theme, which admirably combines clarity with profundity, accuracy in detail with big picture wisdom, and theological theory with moral practice. Peter Kreeft, Professor of Philosophy, Boston College, Author of "C.S. Lewis for the Third Millennium," "Between Heaven and Hell," and "Back to Virtue""

SynopsisThe characters, plots, and potent language of C. S. Lewis s novels reveal everywhere the modern writer s admiration for Dante s "Divine Comedy. " Throughout his career Lewis drew on the structure, themes, and narrative details of Dante s medieval epic to present his characters as spiritual pilgrims growing toward God. Dante s portrayal of sin and sanctification, of human frailty and divine revelation, are evident in all of Lewis s best work. Readers will see how a modern author can make astonishingly creative use of a predecessor s material in this case, the way Lewis imitated and adapted medieval ideas about spiritual life for the benefit of his modern audience. Nine chapters cover all of Lewis s novels, from" Pilgrim s Regress" and his science-fiction to "The Chronicles of Narnia "and "Till We Have Faces." Readers will gain new insight into the sources of Lewis s literary imagination that represented theological and spiritual principles in his clever, compelling, humorous, and thoroughly human stories.
