At which university did C.S. Lewis teach English literature from 1925?

C.S. Lewis taught English literature at the University of Oxford from 1925.

Lewis became a Fellow and Tutor in English at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1925 and remained there until 1954. His Oxford career included teaching, literary scholarship, and participation in intellectual groups such as the Inklings, whose members included J.R.R. Tolkien and Charles Williams.

Oxford was the main institutional setting of Lewis’s professional life for nearly three decades. He lectured and wrote extensively on English literature, including medieval and Renaissance texts, while also producing fiction and Christian works. His academic books include The Allegory of Love and English Literature in the Sixteenth Century, Excluding Drama.

In 1954, Lewis became the first holder of the chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Magdalene College, Cambridge. That later appointment sometimes causes confusion, because both universities are closely associated with him. Oxford, however, was where his university teaching career began and where he spent most of it.
