		Illuminating Lives: Gerard Manley Hopkins ^Votes:0 Gerard Manley Hopkins Gerard Manley Hopkins is one of the great unsung poets, virtually unknown in his lifetime. We have his poetry today only because it was collected and published by his friends after his death. It has some of the obsessive ornateness and sentimentality of the Victorians, but also a startling musicality which is ahead of its time and ours. Hopkins began his adult life, like many others of his time and middle-class background, as an earnest student at Oxford, concerned with the minutest details of religious practice. Like many others, Hopkins wound up "swimming the Tiber", that is, going from the Church of England to the Church of Rome: and, like many others, he was received there by John Henry Newman . The feelings of the converts' families are exemplified by a Mrs. Arno Read More Go to Site

		Paul Delany, Introduction to In the Year ofJubilee ^Votes:0 Paul Delany, Introduction to In the Year of Jubilee , by George Gissing. (London: J.M. Dent, 1994) 1. Gissing in the Suburbs . In June 1893 George Gissing came back to London after living for two years in Exeter, and took lodgings with his second wife at 76 Burton Road, Brixton. Before he moved to Devon Gissing had been a north-of-the-river person, writing working-class novels about seedy areas like Clerkenwell (in The Nether World ). Now he realised that in South London there was a new territory open to a novelists exploitation. From Burton Road he went for long walks through nearby Camberwell, soaking up impressions of the way of life he saw emerging there. Soon he began work on a novel about the romantic and sexual initiation of a suburban heroine, Nancy Lord. He called it &#147Mi Read More Go to Site
