The great Victorian poet Francis Thompson has always been a favourite of mine. I named one of the chapters of my biography of Oscar Wilde “Hounded by Heaven” to illustrate the parallels between Wilde’s flight from God and that of Thompson, whose own flight is recorded in his wonderful poem, “The Hound of Heaven”, lines from which served as the epigraph to the Wilde chapter. Last week, I was delighted to be able to host “An Evening with Francis Thompson” at Aquinas College in Nashville, along with those with whom I worked on the film documentary of Thompson, for which I served as historical consultant. I’m delighted to see that the documentary is beginning to receive the attention it deserves in the wider Christian world. Follow this link for more:
