One of the first recipients of the Rhodes Scholarship was the American poet, educator and critic [[John Crowe Ransom]]. He became a founding member of the influential Fugitive literary group.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Rubin|first=Louis D.|date=1974|title=The Wary Fugitive John Crowe Ransom|journal=The Sewanee Review|volume=82|issue=4|pages=583–618|jstor=27542882}}</ref> A contemporary of Ransom's who also became a Rhodes Scholar was [[Robert Penn Warren]]. Warren was lambasted by his peers who told him that the study of English literature was a soft option; seeking to rebut such attacks, he introduced new critical ideas into the study of poetry and fiction, and these ideas went on to change how literature was taught at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, not only in America itself.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.english.illinois.edu/maps/poets/m_r/ransom/life.htm|title=John Crowe Ransom's Life and Career|website=www.english.illinois.edu|access-date=2018-11-23}}</ref> Tasmanian Rhodes Scholar [[Richard Flanagan]] ([[Tasmania]] and Worcester, 1984) is a celebrated author, having been awarded the [[Man Booker Prize]] in 2014 for his novel [[The Narrow Road to the Deep North (novel)|''The Narrow Road to the Deep North'']].
