The "Inklings," was a literary discussion group formed in the early 1930s at the University of Oxford in England. The group consisted of several prominent writers, including J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Owen Barfield, among others.
The Inklings would meet regularly to discuss their works-in-progress, share ideas and critiques, and engage in philosophical and theological discussions. Many of their conversations were centered around their shared love of mythology, fantasy, and science fiction.
The group's impact on literature cannot be overstated, as several members went on to become highly influential authors. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy and Lewis's "Chronicles of Narnia" series are two of the most well-known works of fantasy literature in the world, and both were heavily influenced by the discussions and critiques of the Inklings.
