DESCRIPTION:This talk will reflect on the experience of researching the Ox
 ford lives of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. It will look in particular at
  the kinds of materials available in the Bodleian Library\, University Arc
 hives and College libraries and archives to reconstruct the academic world
 s of these two important Oxford figures. As well as showing the potential 
 such resources offer for deepening our understanding of the biographies of
  Lewis and Tolkien\, I will consider their potential for life writing more
  generally.\n\n*Simon Horobin* is Professor of English Language and Litera
 ture and Fellow and Tutor in English at Magdalen College. He has published
  widely on medieval literature and the English language. He has lectured t
 o a variety of audiences on C.S. Lewis\, has published articles on Lewis
 ’s scholarly writings and is the author of _C.S. Lewis’s Oxford_ (Bodl
 eian Publishing 2024).\n\nPlease note that this event is exclusively open 
 to current members of the University of Oxford. Workshop places will be al
 located on a first-come\, first-served basis\, with priority given to memb
 ers of the English Faculty. \nSpeakers:\nSimon Horobin (Magdalen College\,
