Which university became C.S. Lewis’s academic home from 1954?

The University of Cambridge became C.S. Lewis’s academic home from 1954.

He was appointed the first holder of the newly established chair of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge. He also became a fellow of Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he taught and worked during the final years of his academic career.

Before Cambridge, Lewis spent most of his professional life at the University of Oxford. He was a fellow and tutor at Magdalen College, Oxford, from 1925 until 1954 and became well known there for his teaching, scholarship, and participation in literary discussions.

The move did not mean Lewis abandoned Oxford’s intellectual world. He continued to have strong personal and literary connections there, including his association with the Inklings. Cambridge is the answer because the question concerns his later academic appointment, not the university where he spent most of his career.
