I would like to know more about the What Barfield Thought book. I read and listened to several second-hand summaries of his beliefs and focus, before reading his writings myself. I have read Poetic Diction, Saving the Appearances, and the fictional Nighttime Operation. Now I wonder if those who interpreted his thoughts read the same books.
From what I understand, the writers of "What Barfield Thought" approach Barfield from two different perspectives. Loftin as a Christian and approaching Barfield through his interaction with The Inklings, Leyf as an Anthroposopher and through his interaction with Rudolf Steiner.
I listened to an interview the did on the book on "Pints with Jack" a while back and it was what prompted me to pick the book up. They talked quite a bit about "History in English Words," and "Poetic Diction."
Thinking mòre about Lewis's concept of the moon's variableness brought to mind the return trip from Mars in Out of the Silent Planet. Unexpectedly and almost tragically, the orbit of the moon blocked the spaceship's path to earth when lost time could have been fatal.

Appropriate coincidence to publish this on a day of solar eclipse. I am reading it during the event--though my location allows me to see little of it.
