Sorina Higgins

I listened to a an interview on the All About Jack podcast (sidebar) that is also a Youtube video about  Sørina Higgins new Great Courses Audio biography of CS Lewis. It is a literary biography, not the chronological type we usually expect, which she explains in the interview. She also has a 2018 annotated Arthuriad of the Inklings,  The Inklings and King Arthur, and other books as well.  If you take a look at the video, you will see that she is one of the spooky Christians who grow up in the church and are deeply literary and interested inreading about the occult.

So of course she writes a fair bit about Charles Williams.  Her own website tells more about her. 

I met her at a conference and liked her, and I usually have a pretty low tolerance for spookiness and occultic learning. Very bright, very widely read.

I’ve dealt with her at some length, based on your recommendation. I also find her to be bright and pleasant, and highly knowledgeable about her subject— one that is of common interest to us all.
