The Poems Of Gerard Manley Hopkins by Gerald Manley Hopkins
Now First Published
This book is a collection of lyrical and innovative poetry by a Victorian-era English poet known for his radical departure from traditional verse forms and his use of what he called "sprung rhythm." The poems explore themes of nature, religion, and melancholy, often with intense emotion and vivid imagery. The poet's work, not fully appreciated during his lifetime, has since been recognized for its daring metrical and linguistic experiments, its rich sound play, and its deep spiritual fervor, influencing modern poetry and establishing him as a significant figure in English literature.
