Lewis's theological classic, \u003cem\u003eMere Christianity\u003c\/em\u003e, or his science fiction novel, \u003cem\u003ePerelandra\u003c\/em\u003e, have often never read his work as a professional literary historian. They may not even recognize some of the neglected works discussed, here. Mark Neal and Jerry Root have done students of Lewis a great service, tracing the signature ideas in Lewis's works of literary criticism and showing their relevance to Lewis's more familiar books. Their thorough research and lucid prose will be welcome to all who would like to understand Lewis more fully, but who feel daunted by books of such evident scholarly erudition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor example, when you read \u003cem\u003eThe Discarded Image\u003c\/em\u003e on the ancients' view of the heavens, you understand better why Ransom has such unpleasant sensations when first descending toward Malacandra in \u003cem\u003eOut of the Silent Planet. \u003c\/em\u003eAnd when you come across Lewis's discussion in \u003cem\u003eOHEL \u003c\/em\u003e of a minor sixteenth-century poet who described the hellish River Styx as a \"puddle glum,\" you can't help but chuckle at the name when you meet the famous Marshwiggle in \u003cem\u003eThe Silver Chair\u003c\/em\u003e. These are just two examples of how reading the \"Neglected Lewis\" can help every reader understand Lewis more fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMark Neal\u003c\/b\u003e is the co-author of both \u003ci\u003eThe Neglected C.S.
