Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins - Now First Published

Gerard Manley Hopkins' posthumous fame established him among the best of the Victorian poets and the most original. Hopkins is considered as influential as T.S. Eliot's in initiating the modern movement in poetry, and his influence on those who came after him like W. H. Auden and Dylan Thomas has been profound. His experimental explorations in prosody and his use of imagery established him as a daring innovator in a period of largely traditional verse.
