 Margaret Thickstun

Margie Thickstun, the Jane D. and Ellis E. Bradford ’45 Distinguished Writing Chair, recently presented a paper during the 11th Triennial Conference on John Bunyan at the University of Prince Edward Island.

Her talk addressed The Singing Pilgrim, or Pilgrim’s Progress Illustrated in Song (Cincinnati, Ohio: Philip Phillips & Co. 1866), a mid-19th century collection by Philip Phillips. It focused on the first section of the three-part book – a series of Sunday School lessons that use Bunyan’s allegory as a scaffold on which to present hymns that encourage conversion and perseverance.
