Gerard Manley Hopkins |
|
Gerard Manley Hopkins (July 28, 1844 - June 8, 1889), a Jesuit priest, was an English poet whose posthumous, 20th-century fame established him among the finest Victorian poets. His experimental explorations in prosody (especially in regard to sprung rhythm) and his vibrant use of imagery established him as both an original and daring innovator in a period of largely traditional verse. In 1864, Hopkins' reason for conversion to Catholicism was because of the reading of the deeply moving John Henry Newman's Apologia pro vita sua.
