Overview
This Hopkins chronology describes the poet's family and early education, then gives a day-by-day account of what he was doing, reading and writing, and the people he met. Drawing on some material not published before, it illustrates the working life of a priest-poet whose work was not made public until more than thirty years after his death. There are additional sections on the religious and political background of a major Victorian writer whose life was essentially enigmatic and private.

A nearly day-by-day record of what English poet Hopkins (1844- 89) was reading and writing and the people he met during his short life. Demonstrates the link between his work as a priest and as a poet, his dedication to his vocation and frequent revulsion at the people he served, his devotion to his craft, and his ambivalent attitude to the publication of his work. Includes a separate chronology of his works. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
