GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS, PRIEST - POET DVD
A special presentation on the life and work of one of the great Victorian poets, Gerard Manley Hopkins. Hopkins was a Jesuit priest whose innovative manipulation of prosody and overtly Christian themes served to glorify God through the use of vivid imagery and nature.
