«Poems and Prose» is the anthology of poetry and prose by Gerard Manley Hopkins, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (260 pages, in English).
Selection of poems, letters and diary entries by the poet and Jesuit priest Gerard Manley Hopkins, written during the twenty years following his entry into the order. Hopkins's poetic work, published posthumously in 1918, unites spirituality and nature and stands out for its rhythm and sonority; the prose reflects his creative process.
With introduction and notes by W. H. Gardner; this selection was first published in 1953 and includes indexes and bibliography.
Will appeal to readers of Victorian poetry, scholars of nineteenth-century English literature, and those seeking poetry of religious inspiration.
Gerard Manley Hopkins was an English poet and Jesuit priest, whose posthumous fame places him among the leading English poets. His prosody – notably his concept of sprung rhythm – established him as an innovator, as did his praise of God through vivid use of imagery and nature.
