In this charming conversation, host Eric Metaxas interviews philologist Simon Horobin on his new book C.S. Lewis’s Oxford. Included are stories from Addison’s Walk, the Eagle and Child pub, and thoughts on whether a curious door located in St. Mary’s Passage might have inspired The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Dr. Horobin also reminds our Socrates in the City host that C. S. Lewis was president of the Oxford Socratic Club for more than ten years! This Socrates in the City conversation took place in July of 2024 in Oxford, England.
