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.

Discover How Hopkins's Spiritual Life and Vision Can Enlighten Your
Own "Poetry and art and music seize upon the human experience in
ways that reveal new possibilities of intimacy with the Divine. In
the way they reach out and grab us by the heart at unexpected
times, they reaffirm that the Holy will meet us when it
chooses.âŚ" âfrom the Preface by Rev. Thomas Ryan, CSP Gerard
Manley Hopkins, Christian mystical poet, is beloved for his use of
fresh language and startling metaphors to describe the world around
him. Beneath the surface of this lovely verse lies a searching
soul, wrestling with and yearning for God. Hopkins writes from a
Christian background, and yet his themes speak to people of all
faiths who seek a deeper understanding of the presence of God in
all of life. This beautiful sampling of Hopkins's poetry offers a
glimpse into his unique spiritual vision that continues to inspire
readers throughout the world. The poems unite his two devotions,
presenting mystical images of Christ in the natural world, which
serve as a window through which you might also begin to see the
Divine Presence in the world around you.
Sacred Adventure is an initial consideration of Christianity, God's
call, and the human response. The contributors are not catechists,
but theologians who, after St. Anselm, see theology as faith
seeking understanding. The text targets those who seek to
understand Christianity and its theology. The essays highlight the
interconnectedness and distinct features of religion as they seek
to hear and respond to God's call. The authors are well-known
theological thinkers and writers, including Cardinal Avery Dulles,
SJ, and younger emerging scholars. The book discusses issues of
faith, religion, and theology from the scripture perspectives;
Thomas's proofs of the existence of God; the early church;
liberation theology; and feminism.
This account by the well known literary figure of the nineteenth
century is a most informative and remarkable introduction to this
subject of abiding interest and universal appeal. Though not
generally known, Manley Hopkins, in addition to this considerable
literary endeavour, was also the Hawaiian Consul-General in
Liverpool during the mid-nineteenth century.
A celebration of men's voices in prayerâthrough the ages from
many faiths, cultures and traditions. "If men like us don't pray,
where will emerging generations get a window into the soul of a
good man, an image of the kind of man they can aspire to beâor be
withâwhen they grow up? If men donât pray, who will model for
them the practices of soul careâof gratitude, confession,
compassion, humility, petition, repentance, grief, faith, hope and
love? If men donât pray, what will men become, and what will
become of our world and our future?" âfrom the Introduction by
Brian D. McLaren This collection celebrates the profound variety of
ways men around the world have called out to the Divineâwith
words of joy, praise, gratitude, wonder, petition and even
angerâfrom the ancient world up to our own day. The prayers come
from a broad spectrum of spiritual traditionsâboth East and
Westâincluding Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism
and more. Together they provide an eloquent expression of menâs
inner lives, and of the practical, mysterious, painful and joyous
endeavor that prayer is. Men Pray will challenge your preconceived
ideas about prayer. It will inspire you to explore new ways of
prayerful expression and new possibilities for your own spiritual
journey. This is a book to treasure and to share. Includes prayers

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-89) is now recognized as a major poet
of striking originality. He is widely admired for his particularly
vivid expression of feeling, from the religious ecstasy of `he
Blessed Virgin' to the torments of his loneliness and despair in
`No Worst', and for conveying with wonderful freshness his sense of
natural beauty in such poems as `The Windhover' and `Pied Beauty'.
This selection, chosen from the award-winning Oxford Authors
critical edition, includes all his major English poems and most of
the larger fragments. The poems are supported with extensive notes
and a useful introduction to Hopkins's life and poetry. ABOUT THE
SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made
available the widest range of literature from around the globe.
Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship,
providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable
features, including expert introductions by leading authorities,
helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for
further study, and much more.
In this series, a contemporary poet selects and introduces a poet
of the past. By their choice of poems and by the personal and
critical reactions they express in their prefaces, the editors
offer insights into their own work as well as providing an
accessible and passionate introduction to some of the greatest
poets of our literature. Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) was born
in Stratford. He attended Balliol College, Oxford where he
befriended the future Poet Laureate Robert Bridges. While at
Balliol he converted to Catholicism and after graduating he entered
the Society of Jesus and was ordained in 1877. Having burned his
early poems on entering the Church, Hopkins eventually took up
writing again but apart from a few poems that appeared in
periodicals he was not published during his own lifetime. Since the
publication of his poems in 1918 he has become one of the best
known poets of the Victorian age and his are among the greatest
poems written on the subject of faith and doubt.
Published on the centenary of Hopkin's death, this edition aims to provide insights into Hopkin's methods of composition, revision and refinement.;The history of all the manuscript albums of Hopkins' verse is provided and the poems, whether finished or unfinished, originals or translations, are arranged in a single sequence based on their date of composition. The metrical marks which Hopkins used in his final texts are included, as are all the drafts and fair copies of each piece, listed in their probable sequence. There is also a bibliography and detailed commentary dealing with matters linguistic, theological and scientific.
How did a Catholic priest who died a failure become one of the
worldâs greatest poets? Discover in his own words the struggle
for faith that gave birth to some of the best spiritual poetry of
all time. Gerard Manley Hopkins deserves his place among the
greatest poets in the English language. He ranks seventh among the
most frequently reprinted English-language poets, surpassed only by
Shakespeare, Donne, Blake, Dickinson, Yeats, and Wordsworth. Yet
when the English Jesuit priest died of typhoid fever at age
forty-four, he considered his life a failure. He never would have
suspected that his poems, which would not be published for another
twenty-nine years, would eventually change the course of modern
poetry and influence such poets as W. H. Auden, Dylan Thomas,
Robert Lowell, John Berryman, Geoffrey Hill, and Seamus Heaney.
Like his contemporaries Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson, Hopkins
revolutionized poetic language. And yet we love Hopkins not only
for his literary genius but for the hard-won faith that finds
expression in his verse. Who else has captured the thunderous voice
of God and the grandeur of his creation on the written page as
Hopkins has? Seamlessly weaving together selections from
Hopkinsâs poems, letters, journals, and sermons, Peggy Ellsberg
lets the poet tell the story of a life-long struggle with faith
that gave birth to some of the best poetry of all time. Even
readers who spurn religious language will find in Hopkins a
refreshing, liberating way to see Godâs hand at work in the
world.
This collection of literature attempts to compile many of the
classic, timeless works that have stood the test of time and offer
them at a reduced, affordable price, in an attractive volume so
that everyone can enjoy them.
This authoritative edition was originally published in the
acclaimed Oxford Authors series under the general editorship of
Frank Kermode. It brings together all Hopkins's poetry and a
generous selection of his prose writings to give the essence of his
work and thinking. Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-89) was one of the
most innovative of nineteenth-century poets. During his tragically
short life he strove to reconcile his religious and artistic
vocations, and this edition demonstrates the range of his
interests. It includes all his poetry, from best-known works such
as 'The Wreck of the Deutschland' and ''The Windhover' to
translations, foreign language poems, plays, and verse fragments,

writings. The poems are printed in chronological order to show
Hopkins's changing preoccupations, and all the texts have been
established from original manuscripts. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over
