The Last Romantic

In this theological and literary investigation, Jeffrey Barbeau explores the influence of nineteenth century Romanticism on C. S. Lewis's writing in three essays. Drawing on extensive reading of the marginalia Lewis's personal library, Barbeau offers a fresh understanding of modern theology, Romantic poetry, and Lewis's most beloved works.

Jeffrey W. Barbeau (PhD, Marquette University) is associate professor of theology in the Graduate School at Wheaton College. He is the author or editor of multiple books on the English writer S. T. Coleridge and his family.
