Chronologically moving through the years, days and locations of Gerar Manley Hopkins' life, this richly detailed biography examines his theology, life circumstances, poetry, friends, thoughts, and the numerous influences that played into his writings. A convert to Catholicism, and eventually a Jesuit and a priest, Hopkins initially felt he had to give up poetry-only to receive a renewed call to write later in life. 496 pages, indexed, hardcover with dust jacket.
