The Frugal Chariot

Arts & Literature

“The Frugal Chariot is a bold, brave, and bracing book that explores regions of readership far beyond the ivory tower. Its careful and thoughtful explorations bring together a wide array of responses to Hopkins’s poetry, ranging from common readers to inspired artists and everything in between. Francis Fennell has opened new paths for literary studies which are pragmatic, democratic, and powerful. A welcome, timely book that should be read widely within academia—and far beyond.”
