The Inklings authored some of the most important books in the English language in the 20th century. This group of friends included famous writers such as J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams, as well as others, who met in Oxford through the central decades of the 20th century to read and discuss literature together. This talk explores some of their key ideas, through their understanding of friendship, imagination and myth.

Pablo Ulises Rodríguez Jordá is currently a PhD student in philosophy at the University of the Basque Country and a part-time lecturer at Rey Juan Carlos University in Madrid.

He has a great interest in all things linguistic and 20th century English literature, especially in relation to the literary world of the Inklings.
