The first comprehensive study of a gifted but largely overlooked American writer. Joy Davidman (1915-1960) is probably best known today as the woman that C. S. Lewis married in the last decade of his life. But she was also an accomplished writer in her own right - an awardwinning poet and a prolific book, theater, and film reviewer during the late 1930s and early 1940s. This volume offers the first comprehensive critical study of Joy Davidman's poetry, nonfiction, and fiction.
