Patrick Lenahan is a Senior Lecturer in English at the University of Pretoria. He is a co-editor of Voices of this Land: An Anthology of South African Poetry in English.

"Overall, Lenahan situates Pringle in the cosy narrative of 'Cape liberalism' that portrays the British settlers at the Cape as champions of free speech, literary taste formation and Indigenous rights. [...] The careful close readings of the thirty-three sonnets that Pringle has left to posterity make a compelling argument for Pringle's inclusion within the canons of Scottish and British Romanticism." - Lars Atkin, University of Kent, England in Scottish Literary Review, Volume 16, Number 2 Autumn/Winter 2024, pp.194-198.
