This compendium of poems by Gerard Manley Hopkins includes his most
famous works, together with a careful selection of his most
critically acclaimed verses. Hopkins is one of the Victorian era's
best appreciated poets, gaining much of his fame for his unique and
religiously inspired subjects. A committed Jesuit, his poems were
notable for including a technique of Hopkins' own invention named
sprung rhythm. This connotes verse which is designed to imitate the
patterns and pace of typical human speech. By 1918, when this
collection of Hopkins' poetry first appeared, he had gained much
renown. To emphasise that several of the entries had never been
published previously, the subtitle of 'Now First Published' was
appended. This and other anthologies helped introduce the talents
of Hopkins to a wider audience, cementing his status in England's
literary pantheon.
