The sweep of narrative in A. N. Wilson’s biography of C. S. Lewis isimpressive and there is much that is acute and well argued. But much in this work is careless and unworthy of its author. Wilson, a novelist and an accomplished biographer, has failed to do what any writer on such a subject as Lewis ought to do, namely work out a coherent view of how the various literary works by the subject are to be described and commented on. Decisions have to be made on what to look at in detail and what to pass by with just a mention. Wilson has not thoughtthis problem out. For instance, Till We Have Faces, Lewis’ treatment of the Eros and Psyche story and one of his best-executed and most moving works, is merely mentioned by Wilson, though it illuminates Lewis’ spiritual development, whereas Lewis’ minor work Pilgrim’s Regress is looked at in considerable detail.

【第二句话转折之后，遵循了明显的的“总—分”结构】

* 先宏观评价：careless、unworthy

* 再略具体：has failed to do something

* 再更具体：那个something是什么，是 a coherent view

* 再进一步具体：what to look at in detail和 what to pass by with just a mention

* 最后到体，就是举例：For instance，instance中回应了上面的两个点。

The author of the passage implies that Wilson’s examination of Pilgrim’s Regress（推断题）

(A) is not as coherent as his treatment of Till We Have Faces （偷换概念。）

(B) would have been more appropriate in a separate treatise because of the scope of Pilgrim’s Regress （文中嫌弃了“coherent不够”这个情况，怎么会“more appropriate in a separate treatise”？）

(C) demonstrates how Wilson’s narrow focus ignores the general themes of Lewis’ works （文中的意思是focus错了，而不是focus局限。）

(D) was more extensive than warranted【“该有的”】 because of the relative unimportance of Pilgrim’s Regress
