By Jason M. Baxter

Categories: Literature & Fiction, Religion & Spirituality

The Medieval Mind of C. S. Lewis (2022) is Jason M. Baxter's study of how medieval literature and thought shaped C. S. Lewis's imagination and work. Baxter guides readers through the medieval authors Lewis loved, from Boethius and Dante to the mystics and poets of the Middle Ages, and shows how their view of a meaningful, ordered cosmos informed Lewis's scholarship, fiction and faith.
