The Other Inklings: Interviews with Scholars on C.S. Lewis, Charles Williams, Owen Barfield, and Inklings-Adjacent Figures
Gabriel Salter, Master of Letters, 2025
Discover the untold story behind the Inklings—and meet the scholars keeping their legacy alive. You know the names: C.S. Lewis. Charles Williams. Owen Barfield. But the story doesn’t end there. In The Other Inklings, G. Connor Salter takes readers deep into the world of Lewis and his circle—not through conventional biography, but through revealing interviews with the people who have spent their lives studying them. Scholars, poets, theologians, and novelists share what drew them to these writers and how their ideas continue to inspire new generations.
Covering everything from fantasy and theology to ecology, Shakespeare, secret societies, and even William Lindsay Gresham’s crime thriller Nightmare Alley, this book offers an unprecedented glimpse into the lively, eccentric, and sometimes unexpected world of “Inklings-adjacent” figures. Whether you’re a lifelong fan of the Inklings or just discovering their work, The Other Inklings invites you into the living conversation—a fellowship that spans generations.
