When Lean left Oxford in 1933, the club faltered. However, its name was transferred by Tolkien and Lewis to their literary group at Magdalen College. Lean also contributed to the Isis magazine at Oxford. Lean went on to become a writer, especially on historical themes.He was a journalist and book reviewer for the News Chronicle.Later, he was Director of External Broadcasting at the BBC. (en) |
