Gerard Manley Hopkins citáty
strana 3

Gerard Manley Hopkins byl anglický jezuitský kněz, teolog, filolog a básník. Narodil se v Londýně ve středostavovské rodině. Studoval Balliolskou kolej v Oxfordu, roku 1866 konvertoval ke katolicismu a později se stal jezuitou a knězem. Působil jako učitel, později jako profesor klasické filologie na University College v Dublinu. Zemřel na tyfus v Dublinu.

Za svého života žádné básně nepublikoval, jeho básnické dílo bylo vydáno posmrtně až roku 1918 jeho přítelem Robertem Bridgesem. Skutečně proslulým autorem se stal až po roce 1945. Dnes je Hopkins považován za jednoho z nejvýznamnějších viktoriánských básníků jak pro své prozodické experimenty, tak pro imaginativní sílu svých veršů. Hopkins využíval tónický verš a hodně aliteraci . Wikipedia
