Catalogue Note
first edition one of 750 copies of the first published collection of Hopkins' work. "Hopkins's poetry with its religious faith, his experiments in versification, his 'dark night of the soul' would have reduced all his Victorian contemporaries to immediate insignificance - like Rimbaud's in France - had they but known of him" (Connolly).
