THE SECRET DUBLIN DIARY OF GERARD MANLEY HOPKINS
Robert Waldron

A novel that memorably evokes Dublin in the 1880s. The last sonnets of Gerard Manley Hopkins, fraught as they are with despair, have long intrigued readers and critics alike. Robert Waldron’s fascinating and challenging novella now explores the celebrated poet’s inner agony, as well as his secret homosexuality, which he was compelled to hide from his fellow Jesuits. The Secret Dublin Diary of Gerard Manley Hopkins tells the moving story of a man who loved greatly – and was made to suffer for it.
