Gerard Manley Hopkins: The Complete Poems (Annotated);

- Contains a critical review of Hopkins’ work by noted scholar Edward Sapir, as well as an up-to-date bibliography of books about Hopkins

Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844-1889) was one of the great poets of his age, and one of the most important ever to write in English. A devout Catholic, he infused his works with the agonies he experienced in struggling with his faith. He was also a daring innovator in poetic form, experimenting with meter and imagery in ways that continue to dazzle and influence modern readers.

Lexicos Publishing is proud to present this authoritative ebook edition of Hopkins’ complete poems, based on the standard paper edition edited by the poet Robert Bridges. The Graves edition has been supplemented with extensive additional material: two early poems not included in the original collection; his preface to the 1889 edition of his poems; and his important prose work, “On the Origin of Beauty: A Platonic Dialogue”. These additions ensure that this ebook edition is the most complete collection of Hopkins’ work available. It has been meticulously edited and formatted for Kindle. It contains an active table of contents and is fully searchable.
