During his time at Oxford , he wrote his long poem in four books "Old King Coel ". It has its name from the legendary British father of the Empress Helena , the mother of the Emperor Constantine . As Professor Of Poetry , Fox called for a poetry, which is accessible to the reader, and gives enough pleasure to be read again. That was very important for him, because poetry, which is not reread, will not be understood, and will therefore be irrelevant. This call can be understood as a criticism against some forms of modern poetry. Adam Fox surely did not belong to the most important Inklings. Yet he is of interest. He has published in the field between Christianity and Platonism . In ''Plato for Pleasure'', he tried to introduce the general public to Plato . Fox aimed to give Plato a place among the English classics again and hoped that people would know the platonic dialogues as well as the plays of Shakespeare . His biography of William Ralph Inge , the famous theologian, philospher and Dean of St. Paul's Cathedral is still the most important work on that subject. BOOKS
