Reviews

The book is an interesting survey of responses to Lewis the man, the Lewis persona, and his books to the present day, diligently researched * Dale Nelson * Derrick drives home her main point that a wide array of historical, cultural, religious, and social factors came together to make the fame of C. S. Lewis possible. In this regard, as a reception history of the incredible career of C. S. Lewis and his legacy,the volume succeeds. * Frank V. Bellizzi, Stone-Campbell Journal * Derrick has given us a striking and important study. It should find a wide readership among historians of Christianity and of 20th-century literature, as well as those interested in the history of the media. Well written, generously produced, and reasonably priced, it deserves an audience outside the academy. * Peter Webster, Independent Scholar and consultant, Reading Religion *
