"Carnell's book attacks with the help of Lewis an invidious academic prejudice concerning the rift between feelings, emotions, and passions on one side and intellect, reason, and thought on the other. . . Intrinsically important."

Christian Scholar's Review
"It is valuable to have this, the first and fullest study of Sehnsucht, in print, and it will be important reading for any serious student of Lewis."

Nathan A. Scott Jr.
— University of Chicago
"In his account of the special kind of spirituality that controlled the thought of C. S. Lewis, Carnell has produced a genuinely fresh assessment. . . Surely the most penetrating and absorbing book on Lewis yet to have appeared."

Choice
"A valuable book, for both an understanding of Lewis and an appreciation of Sehnsucht in the Romantic tradition. . . Important and recommended."
