ABSTRACT

Vol. XXI, Oxford, 1935, pp. 124–52

W.H. Gardner (1902–69) was a schoolteacher until 1946, when he took up university teaching in South Africa. He became a Catholic as a result of his study of Hopkins, and his book Hopkins: a Study of Poetic Idiosyncrasy in Relation to Poetic Tradition (2 vols, 1944–9) is still the most comprehensive work on the poet.

According to Dunne, this article was actually published in 1936.
