basic biography
Adam Fox was born in 1883. He was a fervant Christian believer and Dean of Divinity at
Magdalen College. He was among the founding members of the Inklings, and had extremely varied
interests from Plato to Cathedral architecture. He wrote a good deal of poetry and believed that
the medium should be easily understood and accessable to the average reader. Tolkien, Lewis and
the other Inklings tried very hard to get him the Professorship of Poetry and succeeded. In 1938
he was elected and remained such until 1942.
Fox eventually became Canon of Westmister Abbey where he is buried after his death in 1977. Fox
was a quietly important part of the Inklings who often gets overlooked, but was nevertheless
extremely important as a friend and member.
