About this Journal
The Journal of Inklings Studies provides a forum for rigorous academic engagement with the work of C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Charles Williams, Owen Barfield, and their literary circle.
The journal’s two principal aims are
- to lead and support the growing field of C.S. Lewis and Inklings Studies, and
- to test and develop the potential of C.S. Lewis and his circle to be serious intellectual conversation partners for scholars in literature, philology, theology, and philosophy more widely.
The journal pursues these aims by
- publishing original source materials by its subject authors, together with high-quality scholarly commentary and analysis,
- developing and publishing cutting-edge academic engagement with the thought of C.S. Lewis and his circle by scholars both within Inklings Studies and in other disciplines, and
- publishing free, open access book reviews of academic books published in the subject area.
