What was the name of the literary society C.S. Lewis joined with J.R.R. Tolkien?

The literary society C.S. Lewis joined with J.R.R. Tolkien was called the Inklings.

The Inklings were an informal Oxford writers’ group that met mainly from the 1930s until the early 1950s. Members read portions of works in progress aloud and discussed literature, mythology, theology, and ideas about storytelling.

Lewis was one of the group’s central figures, and J.R.R. Tolkien was another prominent member. Their meetings helped create an environment in which writers could test chapters, poems, and arguments before publication. The group was not a formal club with a fixed membership list or constitution.

The name “Inklings” had been used for an earlier student literary group at Oxford and was later adopted for the writers’ circle. Meetings were associated with locations including The Eagle and Child pub, commonly known by its nickname, the Bird and Baby.
