Abbott, Claude Colleer (ed.): Further Letters of Gerard Manley Hopkins including His Correspondence
with Coventry Patmore. London: Oxford U. Press, 1938. It's wonderful to read Hopkins in his own words,
to have the entire context of those sections that are so often cited. GMH was a truly amazing scholar as well as a great
poet.
Abbott, Claude Colleer (ed.): Tthe Letters of Gerard Manley Hopkins to Robert Bridges. London:
Oxford U. Press, 1935. with notes and an introduction. An interesting friendship between 2 poets. As I know
GMH better I realize that he loved the priesthood if not his daily tasks.
Andreach, Robert J.: Studies in Structure: Stages in the spiritural life in four modern authors:
Gerarad Manley Hopkins, James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, Hart Crane. London: Burns & Oates, 1964, Fordham
University Press. Now I understand why I never liked James Joyce. This is an exceedingly odd book. It is
less literary cricticism and more an analysis of stages in spirituality.

Mariani, Paul L.: Gerard Manley Hopkins: A life. New York: Viking, the Penguin
Group, 2008. 496 p. includes index BIOGRAPHY POETS CATHOLIC OXFORD 19th Century Kindle
Hopkins has been my favorite poet since I discovered him during my freshman year at Rice Univerisity. I like Marianni's
writing very much; superb shaping of excerpts from poems, journals, letters into a very readable text. One of the
best accounts of Hopkins life I have read.
Sprinker, Michael: A Counterpoint of Dissonance. The Aesthetics and Poetry of Gerard
Manley Hopkins. Baltimore: John Hopkins, 1980. I don't think much of Jacues Derrida and the deconstructionists.
Without doubt, Sprinker's book, being of that ilk, is my least favorite book about the life and poetry of my favorite poet.
Stuff & non-sense!
