English Department Faculty Member Publishes Book

John Knapp, a member of Albuquerque Academy’s English faculty, recently had his book, Fiddled out of Reason, published by Lehigh University Press.

The book is a study of several poems spanning the life of Joseph Addison, an 18th-century English poet. Mr. Knapp’s book is not a novel, but a scholarly study of the hymn as a poetic genre in English literature at the turn of the 18th century.

Mr. Knapp has been working on the book summers, weekends, and evenings for the past four years. For more information, the full description  can be found here.

Fiddled out of Reason is available at Simms Library.
