Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Renowned Hopkins expert Joseph J. Feeney, SJ, offers a fresh take on Gerard Manley Hopkins that begins the next phase in Hopkins studies. In both his poetry and prose Feeney discovers a distinctive playfulness inextricably bound to Hopkins's creativity, style, and poetic competitiveness-even, strikingly, in The Wreck of the Deutschland and the Terrible Sonnets. No one who absorbs these radical readings will ever see his poems the same way.
