Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins

More about the book

Reverend Father Gerard Manley Hopkins, S.J. (1844 – 1889) was an English poet, Roman Catholic convert, and a Jesuit priest, whose posthumous fame established him among the leading Victorian poets. His experimental explorations in prosody (especially sprung rhythm) and his use of imagery established him as a daring innovator in a period of largely traditional verse.
