Where did C.S. Lewis spend most of his Oxford academic career?

C.S. Lewis spent most of his Oxford academic career at Magdalen College. He was elected a fellow and tutor there in 1925 and remained associated with the college until 1954.

At Magdalen, Lewis taught English literature and developed the academic reputation that accompanied his creative work. The college’s medieval buildings and riverside grounds also became closely associated with his Oxford life. He regularly met with fellow writers and Christian thinkers, including members of the informal group known as the Inklings.

Lewis later left Oxford for Cambridge, where he became the first holder of the newly established chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature. Magdalen College is not the same institution as Magdalene College, Cambridge, although the names are historically related and are frequently confused.
