ABSTRACT

December 1935, pp. 316–17

This is a review of Charles Doughty: a Study of his Prose and Verse by Anne Treneer and Selected Passages from ‘The Dawn in Britain, ed. Barker Fairley. Charles Doughty (1843–1926), traveller and writer (in eccentric English), was best known for his Travels in Arabia Deserta (1888), which Hopkins stigmatized for its ‘affectation’ of style (Letters to Bridges, p. 284).

The minor fashion to find a parallel with Hopkins seems to have been quashed by this article.
