The Allegory of Love: A Study in Medieval Tradition by C.S. Lewis

3.0

This is one of those books that if you haven't read all the works the author is analyzing, it's going to be rather hard or tedious to follow at points. Yet, at least from the parts analyzing books that I'd actually read, it really is quite a good book--and it's neat to see Lewis as the literary critic, not simply as the theologian or novelist. While this book may have been longer than what I, as a layman to the field of Medieval studies, would have preferred, I gleaned a lot from it, and folks who have read more Medieval allegories than I have would certainly take a lot more from the book.

Rating: 3.5 Stars (Good).
