Rezension
«In her careful reading of Lewis and his critics, Hilder provides a nuanced and balanced approach, showing how often Lewis subverted the usual stereotypes, giving us a new understanding of Lewis’s fiction and a new way to think about gender – a viable Third Way.» (David C. Downing, R. W. Schlosser Professor of English at Elizabethtown College, author of

«At long last, a serious study of the Cosmic Trilogy’s central theme, and one which is sufficiently thorough and nuanced to bring out the radical implications of Lewis’s views on gender. Carefully, thoughtfully, insightfully, Hilder moves beyond the Pavlovian superficiality of so many previous ventures into this field. An important and valuable contribution.» (Dr. Michael Ward, St Peter’s College, Oxford, author of
