Description
Trade Reviewa meticulously researched, well written and accessible study that will attract the interest of both general and specialist readers, offering to each several suggestive lines of inquiry relating to both Hopkins and the larger field of Victorian visual cultures. * Daniel Brown, Review English Studies *
Probably the world's foremost Hopkins text-scholar, Catherine Phillips here shows herself an astute art critic with a good eye, a touch of wit, and a gift for clear summary. In turn, Gerard Manley Hopkins glistens even more brightly than before. * Joseph J. Feeney, S.J. *
[Phillips'] interweaving of literary and visual evidence makes an important contribution to the study of Hopkins' poetry and aesthetics, as well as to our understanding of Victorian art, its dissemination and reception. * Grace Brockington, Archiv *
