What was C.S. Lewis's Oxford college, where he taught English literature for most of his career?

Magdalen College was C.S. Lewis's Oxford college, where he taught English literature for most of his career.

Lewis became a Fellow and tutor in English at Magdalen College, Oxford, in 1925. He remained there for nearly three decades, teaching students, writing scholarship, and participating in Oxford's intellectual life. The college's medieval buildings, gardens, and riverside walks became strongly associated with his academic years.

His Oxford appointment lasted until 1954, when he became the first holder of the Chair of Medieval and Renaissance English at Cambridge University. He then held a fellowship at Magdalene College, Cambridge—not Magdalen College, Oxford. The similar names are a frequent source of mistakes.

Lewis's Oxford period included the development of his friendship with J.R.R. Tolkien and his participation in the Inklings. It also covered the publication of major works including The Problem of Pain, The Abolition of Man, and several Narnia novels.
