Changes

Having had two of his poetry collections (''Spirits in Bondage'' (1919) and ''Dymer'' (1926)) published under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton, in 1933 Lewis drew upon his rediscovered Christianity and produced his first theological work ''The Pilgrim's Regress: An Allegorical Apology for Christianity, Reason, and Romanticism'', relating his own voyage from skepticism to belief.

The circle of literary friends he met through his time at Magdalen College became an informal discussion society known as "The Inklings", formed in 1933, and which included Tolkien, Dyson, Charles Williams, Owen Barfield, as well as his brother Warren. The Inklings gathered regularly at "The Eagle and Child" public house (known colloquially as the "Bird and Baby") where they drank beer, discussed philosophy, and critiqued each other's work. They also met informally in Lewis' rooms at the college. Both Tolkien and Lewis shared their classic works with The Inklings during the writing stage, including Tolkien's [[The Lord of the Rings]] and Lewis' [[The Chronicles of Narnia]]. This talented group of writers have been acknowledged as changing modern literature. The group met twice a week for the next 16 years.

Lewis began to publish works on Medieval Literature after the success of his contribution on 16th century English Literature for the ''Oxford History of English Literature'' series and in 1936, ''The Allegory of Love: A Study in Medieval Tradition'' was published. In 1938, ''[[Out of the Silent Planet]]'', the first installment of The Space Trilogy was published, written as a result of Lewis' own frustration at the available works of science fiction of the day. The final installment, ''[[That Hideous Strength]]'' was published in 1946.
