We're probably all familiar with C. S. Lewis, right? His name was Clive Staples Lewis. Probably the most blatant reference in the entire series (in terms of name similarities)... Still trying to figure out why they would connect a avid-athiest-turned-avid-Christian author to a cultural anthropologist... Any ideas?

In Wharton's work, "Ethan’s character is one that comes full circle, moving from silent desire to action to quiet submission, ordered by life’s circumstances," (Wikipedia, 2009). I like the new arrangement of "Other man" though! I thought that “Ethan Rom” was “Ethan Frome”, like the eponymous character of the 1911 Edith Wharton novel.

James Ford as the Civic leader/pirate who led "Ford's Ferry Gang," the philosophers of Rousseau and Hume and numerous others all came from the 18th century. Admittedly, John Locke lived in the 17th century, but he did die in 1704 and his work was very influential especially in the 18th century. I do like Jane Austen, the 18th century writer, as a better comparison to Kate. Jane was a romantic, writing great novels that always ended happily (usually in marriage), yet she herself chose to remain independent and turned down the proposals of numerous men. I've got one more, though, that may be stretching it: Jack Sheppard was an 18th century thief who became a kind of Robin Hood of his day, romanticized for years after he was caught for the fourth time and finally hung. He was a drunk and a thief, but he was lauded as a public hero and he refused to rat out his friends in exchange for a reduced sentence. Yeah...so, Jack's not exactly some rogue thief, but I wouldn't just say he's a shepherd leading his flock and leave it at that. Have you been watching lately? Maybe the name could represent both. Like the 18th century criminal joked about his repeated escapes and incarcerations, "I am the Sheppard, and all the Gaolers [jailers] in the Town are my Flock, and I cannot stir into the Country, but they are all at my Heels Baughing after me."

He uses pop culture references in his work, and also dives into science/religion and human consciousness topics. Is anyone familiar with the work of the author Robert Sawyer?
