Which Cambridge college became C.S. Lewis's academic home in 1954?

Magdalene College became C.S. Lewis's academic home in 1954.

That year Lewis was elected to a fellowship and appointed to the chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Magdalene College, Cambridge. He held the Cambridge post while continuing to live near Oxford, where he had spent most of his academic career.

The move gave Lewis a second major university affiliation. Before Cambridge, he had studied and taught at Oxford, eventually becoming a fellow and tutor at Magdalen College, Oxford. The similar names of Magdalen College in Oxford and Magdalene College in Cambridge are a frequent source of confusion.

Lewis remained connected with Magdalene College until his death in 1963. His Cambridge appointment recognized his established reputation as a scholar of English literature, especially medieval and Renaissance writing.
