| Summary: | This study looks at C. S. Lewis and his writings using the observations on rhetoric of Richard M.

There is indeed scope here, and not just in rhetoric: Weaver's objections to ‘undefined egalitarianism’ were matched memorably and succinctly in ‘Screwtape Proposes a Toast’, for example. Indeed, the two have been compared before, as in Fred Douglas Young's Richard M. Weaver 1910–1963. A Life of the Mind (Columbia: University of Missouri Press, 1995), which is not mentioned here. |
