Norman White draws on a lifetime's Hopkins scholarship, and unrestricted access to all surviving papers, to provide the most sensitive and well-researched biography of the priest-poet yet published. Warmly-received on first publication, the book traces his development as poet, observer of nature, and religious professional. The poems are elucidated as subtly intimate autobiographical documents, testifying to the turmoil of Hopkins' inner life.
