Description

C.S. Lewis's Oxford explores the profound influence of his alma mater on the life and work of one of the 20th century's most influential writers. This detailed portrait delves into the connections between Lewis's fantastical fiction, including Narnia, and the world in which he lived. The book examines the role that Oxford played in shaping Lewis's writing, from its medieval buildings to the literature he encountered during his lifetime as a student, teacher, and scholar. New archival discoveries, including letters and an unpublished poem, shed fresh light on Lewis's Oxford life, his transition to Cambridge, and his Christian faith. Written by an expert in medieval literature who teaches at Magdalen College, where Lewis himself taught, this book offers a nuanced understanding of the world-famous author as a student, scholar, and teacher.
