The Medieval Mind of C.S. Lewis: A Conversation with Jason M. Baxter

Breaking News: We have a Youtube channel now.  It has full podcasts and clips, but probably not many videos of us actually recording.  It's worth checking out.

If you enjoy this podcast and want other Inklings fans to find it, please do leave us a review on iTunes or favorite us on Overcast or other podcast services.

We'll wrap up our discussion of The Princess and the Goblin in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime, enjoy this interview with medieval scholar Jason M. Baxter about his new book, The Medieval Mind of C.S. Lewis: How Great Books Shaped a Great Mind.

This book, more than any I've read before, helped me see Lewis' work (fiction as well as non-fiction) as one great overarching, coherent project to make the past accessible to the present, not only intellectually, but imaginatively and emotionally.  I highly recommend it.

If you like this book, I also recommend Dr. Baxter's book on Dante, which is a very useful guide.  I've read it a few times.

As always, many thanks to our producer, Logan Huggins, for spinning sonic straw into gold.  If you missed our previous episode on The Princess and the Goblin, do yourself a favor and listen.  We're quite proud of it.

Also as always, if you have questions or want to get in touch with us, email us at Inklingsvarietyhour@gmail.com.  We'd love to hear from you.
