In which city did C.S. Lewis teach at Oxford University?

C.S. Lewis taught at Oxford University in the city of Oxford. He held academic posts at Oxford for much of his career, first as a fellow and tutor at Magdalen College and later in other university roles.

Lewis taught English literature and became known among students and fellow scholars for his expertise in medieval and Renaissance literature. His academic work included studies of literary history, allegory, and the development of English writing. His Oxford years also placed him among the Inklings, an informal literary group that included J.R.R. Tolkien.

Lewis later moved to Cambridge University, where he became the first holder of the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English in 1954. This later appointment can cause confusion when people are asked where he taught, because both Oxford and Cambridge are central to his academic biography.

Oxford nevertheless remained the university most closely associated with the longest portion of his teaching career. His home near Oxford, The Kilns, also became an important place in accounts of his personal and literary life.
