At which Cambridge college did C.S. Lewis become a fellow after moving from Oxford?

C.S. Lewis became a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge, after moving from Oxford.

In 1954, Lewis was appointed to the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University. He became a Fellow of Magdalene College, where he continued his academic work until his death in 1963.

The Cambridge college is spelled “Magdalene,” with an extra final “e.” This spelling distinguishes it from Magdalen College in Oxford, where Lewis had taught since 1925. Confusing the two colleges is one of the most common factual errors in short biographies of Lewis.

His Cambridge appointment gave him a professorship focused on medieval and Renaissance literature, matching his long-standing interests in texts such as medieval allegory, Renaissance poetry, and the history of English literary culture.
