This authoritative edition brings together all of Hopkins's poetry and a generous selection of his prose writings to explore 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, and the recently discovered poem "Consule Jones". In addition there are excerpts from Hopkins's journals, letters, and spiritual 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 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the broadest spectrum 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, voluminous notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

About Gerard Manley Hopkins

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889) read classics at Balliol College, Oxford, graduating in 1867. He entered the Society of Jesus and was ordained a priest in 1877. He taught and served as a curate in London, Oxford, Manchester, Liverpool and Glasgow, and from 1884 was professor of Greek at University College, Dublin, where he died of typhoid and was buried at Glasnevin. He devised the metrical technique he named sprung rhythm, working it out first in “The Wreck of the Deutschland.” Almost none of his poetry appeared in print during his lifetime: Robert Bridges edited the first collection, Poems, in 1918, nearly thirty years after his death.
