In his first of three lectures, "Men Without Chests," C.S. Lewis begins by critiquing a secondary English textbook he calls The Green Book, and its authors, whom he dubs "Gaius and Titius." Lewis criticizes their treatment of emotion in literature, claiming they reduce all value statements to mere emotions or sentiments. He argues that this sends students the unintended message that all expressions of emotion are worthless.
