Roger (Gilbert) Lancelyn Green (2 November 1918 – 8 October 1987) was a British biographer and children's writer. He was an Oxford academic who formed part of the Inklings literary discussion group along with C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. ==Biography== Roger Lancelyn Green was born in 1918 in Norwich, England. He studied under C. S. Lewis at Merton College, Oxford, where he obtained a B.Litt. degree. As an undergraduate, he performed in the Oxford University Dramatic Society's Shakespeare dramas produced by Nevill Coghill. He remained close to Lewis until the latter's death in 1963, and holidayed in Greece with Lewis and his wife Joy Gresham just before her death from cancer in 1960. When Lewis started writing the Narnia books in the late 1940s, he suggested that they should be called ''The Chronicles of Narnia''. Green delivered the 1968 Andrew Lang lecture. Green lived in Cheshire at Poulton Hall, a manor house that his ancestors had owned for more than 900 years. He died on 8 October 1987 at the age of 68. His son was the writer Richard Lancelyn Green. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roger Lancelyn Green」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
