"The Oxford Inklings, an informal group of literary friends, met weekly from around 1933 to 1963, often in the Eagle and Child public house or in C. S. Lewis's rooms in Magdalen College. They talked about ideas, read to each other pieces they were writing, and enjoyed a good evening of 'the cut and parry of prolonged, fierce and masculine argument'." "The Inklings Handbook focuses on the main members of the group, C. S. Lewis and J. R. R. Tolkien - who are among the most popular writers of the twentieth century and still strikingly relevant in the twenty-first - Charles Williams and Owen Barfield.
