Society of the Inklings

The Inklings was formally the Society of the Inklings, a association of professors, authors and scholars from and associated to Oxford University and other colleges on the premises of the town of Oxford. The Inklings consisted of some of the most prestigious writers of all time, or atleast in modernity, especially in fantasy, including C. S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkein, C. S. Lewis's best friend. The Inklings discussed English, literature, books and their own techniques at writing, calling themselves Inklings as to say that they are people inclined to the ink, or basically, people drawn to writing, books and literature in general. The Inklings still exist today as a literary group at Oxford University, and are famed for their membership of C. S. Lewis, best known for his works the Chronicles of Narnia, and J.R.R. Tolkein, famed for his works of The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings.
