"A concise study of the life and poetry of the Victorian priest-poet. Gerald Roberts gives a chronological description and analysis of Hopkins's career and writing, and pays due attention to the Victorian and Jesuit background. The resulting picture is of a man divided between the religious and the aesthetic life, a story of apparent failure and real achievement."

"The Critical Heritage Gerald Roberts ... Some understanding of what he meant by
Hopkins's originality may be deduced from that intriguing phrase, 'terrible pathos'

1954), later to become a best-selling novelist, and his younger brother and
journalist, Eric (b. 1893). The two started planning the book in 191 1 and Francis

"Right 'election' in all crises of the soul entailed the renunciation of all attachments
and pleasures which were not contributory to God's service and the soul's weal: '
Take, O lord, and receive my liberty, my memory, my understanding, and all my

sward... and in What life ha ..."

"His poetry is magnificent but 'caviare to the general'.” But he was allowed only
four months at Farm Street; the needs of St Aloysius, the Jesuit parish in Oxford,
were apparently greater. With the suggestion of tight-lipped despair he told
Bridges on a postcard: 'I am to leave London. ... I daresay we may not meet again
for years.” As if Oxford were a Jesuit mission in Guyana! Notes 1. Constitutions of
the Society of Jesus, ed. Ga ..."
