Title[edit]

Shouldn't this biography be under her working name of Joy Davidman? --Wfaxon 21:12, 4 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure. To today's audience she might be best known as Joy Gresham. We do have Joy Davidman as a longstanding redirect page to here and that might be enough.--T. Anthony 08:32, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do think it should be under Joy Davidman (the name under which she published), or at least Joy Davidman Gresham. For a moment, I couldn't work out who "Gresham" was in the section on 'Shadowlands'. Myopic Bookworm 17:23, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

why does david greshem redirect here? shouldn't it have it's own page —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.225.148.167 (talk) 06:26, 16 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

there once was an article for david but it got deleted for not being notable — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.71.121 (talk) 01:28, 17 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I only know of one, but C. S. Lewis may have dedicated a few of his writings to her. Should these be noted in the article? Till We Have Faces is one dedication I know of. --MJB

Gender[edit]

It says her first husband was a 'divorcée.' Unless he was a she, this is an error. I'd fix it, but I don't know how to edit articles. BubbaRich (talk) 18:06, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Coverage of literary work?[edit]

I find it surprising that there's no section in this article dealing with Joy's literary works themselves: themes, technique, critical response, etc. INeverCry 19:24, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

In the early life section, there is coverage of her work, Letter to a Comrade that she won a very prestigious competition and award for. I found very brief mention of her work in the sources I had. During her time, I know she was an acclaimed poet and writer but her work is not easy to find now. Do you have some material on her poems or books that you can add to the article? If so, that would be really a great addition. Maybe there is more on her Smoke on the Mountain book. I'll see what I can find. Thank you for your work here and your query. Agadant (talk) 20:50, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps something can be found here or online. I don't know much about her or C. S. Lewis. Looking at this from a GA review angle, I don't see the article passing without direct treatment of her writing. But you never know. ;) INeverCry 22:47, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that. Much appreciated. Agadant (talk) 23:11, 29 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My name is Joy,Lewis i am 12 amd i do not know if i am related to her. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.0.36.49 (talk) 13:42, 25 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
