What is the name of the Cambridge college where C.S. Lewis taught from 1954?

Magdalene College was the Cambridge college where C.S. Lewis taught from 1954.

Lewis was appointed the first holder of the newly created Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at the University of Cambridge in 1954. He became a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge, and moved there after many years teaching at Oxford.

The appointment did not replace his Oxford career with an entirely separate academic identity. Lewis remained associated with Oxford institutions and continued to spend time there, but Cambridge became his formal university base for the final years of his life.

Magdalene College is pronounced “Maudlin,” a pronunciation that can surprise international readers. It is also distinct from Magdalene College, Oxford, the institution where Lewis was a fellow during his Oxford career. That shared name is a frequent source of confusion.
