C. S. Lewis was a British author and Anglican lay theologian, born November 29, 1898, in Belfast, Ireland, and he died November 22, 1963, in Oxford, England, at age sixty-four from kidney failure. He studied at Oxford University, earning three separate first-class honors degrees in Classics, Philosophy, and English Literature. Lewis served as a fellow and tutor at Magdalen College, Oxford, from 1925 to 1954, before becoming Professor of Medieval and Renaissance Literature at Cambridge University from 1954 to 1963. He is best known for The Chronicles of Narnia, a series of seven fantasy novels for children that has become one of the most widely read works of twentieth-century fantasy literature, as well as his influential Christian apologetics, including Mere Christianity and The Screwtape Letters, his science fiction Space Trilogy, and his critical study The Allegory of Love. His final novel, A Grief Observed, reflected on the death of his wife. The Last Battle, the final Narnia novel, won the Carnegie Medal in 1956. Lewis is widely ranked among Britain's greatest post-1945 writers, and in 2013 he was honored with a memorial in Poets' Corner at Westminster Abbey, cementing his enduring literary and theological legacy.
