Abstract

A Great Poet
Schneider, Isidor | April 16, 1930 issue

add to cart   close window

The article discusses books and authors. Two hundred and fifty copies, made up the whole edition in which for the first time, the few but wonderful poems of poet Gerard Manley Hopkins were published. That was in 1918. Their extraordinary author had been dead twenty-nine years. Save for occasional publication chiefly in religious periodicals and anthologies, on whose reluctant editors they had almost to be forced, the poems were known only to a handful of impressed but not always understanding friends. They knew the man to be remarkable and respected the poetry as his utterance.
