Lewis, Clive Staples (1893–1963), scholar and Christian apologist. He was a Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford, from 1925 to 1954, when he became a professor at Cambridge. He underwent a gradual conversion experience described in his spiritual autobiography
Surprised by Joy (1955) and became widely known as a Christian apologist through broadcast talks and through popular religious works, including
The Problem of Pain (1940) and
The Screwtape Letters (1942; ostensibly from a senior devil to his nephew, a junior devil). He also published science fiction novels with a Christian flavour and childrens' books, as well as academic works on English literature.
