Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889) was a Jesuit priest whose poetry combined an awareness of material sensuousness with the asceticism of religious devotion. His collected poems, published posthumously in 1918, exercised a profound influence on modern poetry. This volume features all of Hopkins’s mature work, offering a sampler of the poet’s striking originality, intellectual depth, and perceptive vision. Featured works include his well-known elegy, "The Wreck of the Deutschland, " "God’s Grandeur, " "Hurrahing in Harvest, " "The Windhover, " "Pied Beauty, " and "Carrion Comfort." Additional verses include "The Caged Skylark, " "The Bugler’s First Communion, " "The Starlight Night, " "The Silver Jubilee, " "Henry Purcell, " "Andromeda, " and others.
