Description
Gerard Manley Hopkins' poetry is marked by its intense and vital language, which seeks to evoke the spiritual essence of nature in a sensual and natural way. This collection brings together his poems, letters, and journal entries from the twenty years following his entry into the Society of Jesus. Hopkins' writing is characterized by its innovative use of diction and poetic artifice, as well as its condensed and expressive style. The result is a unique and individual voice that illuminates the soul and reveals the nature of things through a 'terrible crystal'. This edition presents a selection of Hopkins' work from his final twenty years, published posthumously in 1918.
