Which Cambridge college became C.S. Lewis’s academic home after his 1954 appointment?

Magdalene College became C.S. Lewis’s academic home after his 1954 appointment at Cambridge.

Lewis was appointed the first Cambridge Professor of Medieval and Renaissance English in 1954. He held the chair until his retirement in 1963 and was a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge, during that period.

The name can be confusing because Lewis had previously been a fellow and tutor of Magdalen College, Oxford, spelled without the final “e.” The Cambridge college is Magdalene, traditionally pronounced “Maudlin.” Lewis’s move to Cambridge did not end his connection with Oxford immediately, and he continued to visit Oxford and participate in literary friendships there.
