The Inklings (literary group)

The Inklings were a close-knit group of 20th-century writers and scholars, mainly based at Oxford University, active during the 1930s and 1940s. They gathered regularly to discuss literature, philosophy, and faith, serving as a creative and intellectual support network. Key members included authors C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, who shared ideas and gave feedback on each other’s work, notably "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Chronicles of Narnia." Their meetings fostered collaboration and inspired some of the most enduring fantasy literature of the 20th century, emphasizing the importance of community in the creative process.
