This volume brings together for the first time two lesser-known aspects of Gerard Manley Hopkins's creative drive: his sketches and drawings and his musical compositions. The drawings are presented with a full introduction and annotations. The musical compositions feature as both manuscript facsimiles and new transcriptions.

Sketches and Scholarly Studies: Part 1: Academic, Classical, and Lectures on Poetry offers an original perspective on Gerard Manley Hopkins's training as a classicist. R. K. R. Thornton's edition reveals how careful a scholar Hopkins was, how intricate his knowledge of the Classics, and how his critical positions developed.

Hopkins's letters are his secular confessional and if we wish to understand the man and his poetry, they cannot be ignored. For this edition the letters have been re-transcribed from their original manuscripts, they are presented in chronological order with all deletions and corrections included, and are accompanied by scrupulous annotation.
