Which organization did C.S. Lewis help form at Oxford for literary discussions?

C.S. Lewis helped form The Inklings, an Oxford literary discussion group.

The Inklings was an informal group of writers and scholars associated with the University of Oxford. Members met to read aloud and discuss works in progress, often at Lewis’s college rooms or at The Eagle and Child pub, which became popularly known as the Bird and Baby.

J.R.R. Tolkien was one of the group’s best-known members, and Lewis’s encouragement helped Tolkien develop and share parts of The Lord of the Rings. The group had no formal constitution, membership list, or official founding ceremony; it grew from friendships and regular literary conversations during the 1930s and 1940s.

The Inklings was not an Oxford department or a publishing organization. Its importance came from mutual criticism, oral performance, and sustained friendship among writers whose books later became central works of twentieth-century fantasy and Christian literature.
