?This literary study is provacative in the best sense: it's deeply
researched, well-written, thinks its arguments all the way through,
and unashamedly tackles its difficult subject: the attitudes of the
three principal Inklings towards women, in their lives and in both
deliberate and casual references in their writings....This is an
honest and insightful book that should cause all Inklings readers
to think hard about the authors, and criticism has no higher
value.?-Mythprint
