H. Gardner — brings together the finest of his verse and prose in one indispensable volume. Hopkins, a Victorian Jesuit priest whose work was largely unknown during his lifetime, created a revolutionary poetic idiom built on sprung rhythm, dense sonic textures, and an almost mystical attentiveness to the natural world, as seen in towering works such as The Windhover and God's Grandeur.\n\nBeyond the poems themselves, Gardner's editorial framework situates Hopkins within the broader Victorian and early modernist traditions, illuminating how a man of faith and intellectual rigour produced verse that would go on to electrify the twentieth century's greatest writers. The selection of prose offers a rare window into Hopkins's own aesthetic philosophy, making this volume as intellectually stimulating as it is artistically rewarding — leaving the reader to wonder just how much further this singular genius might have soared had the world discovered him sooner.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49216199688411,"sku":"2026200014488-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/06ca11e3-a15d-461e-89a8-c6c20f0280d5.png?v=1788405174","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014488-secondhand-gerard-manley-hopkins-a-selection-of-his-poems-and-prose","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
