Editing Friendship: Arthur Greeves and Walter Hooper as Custodians, Curators, and Censors of the C.S. Lewis–Arthur Greeves Correspondence
Abstract
This article reinterprets They Stand Together (1979) as a two-stage edited artefact shaped by Arthur Greeves’s (1895–1966) private censorship and Walter Hooper’s (1931–2020) later restorations. Through quantitative and qualitative analysis of deletions, clusters, and gaps, it shows how editorial interventions illuminate the moral, sexual, and relational history of C.S. Lewis’s (1898–1963) closest friendship.
