[Content Introduction]
Hopkins is one of the most celebrated Victorian poets. He is renowned for his reinvention of the "jump rhyme" technique, a poetic form with classical roots that defied the metrical conventions of the time, imbuing his poetry with a unique sense of movement. His writing transcended his time, and even today, in Anglo-American poetry circles, his poetry remains a model for many. His poetry can be broadly categorized into four categories: nature poetry, didactic poetry, religious poetry, and introspective poetry. His poetry expresses religious sentiment and confusion, depicts spiritual ascent and descent, reveals inner sorrow and entanglement, and outlines the soul's perseverance and division. This book, the first translated and published work in China, features 147 representative works from his lifetime, presenting a comprehensive overview of Hopkins' poetic world.

[Celebrity Recommendation]
Hopkins makes the power lines of English vibrate beneath the rhythmic lines like high voltage electricity.
———Seamus Heaney uses these difficult techniques to make his poems leap off the page like sudden bursts of wind. Even a single stanza is filled with fiery, leaping movement, like Van Gogh's cypresses.
—Elizabeth Bishop If modern Christian poetry has a saint, it is Gerald Manley Hopkins. His reputation transcends questions of pure literary merit. He is revered as a symbol of holiness, redemptive suffering, and heroic virtue.
