"Hopkins Re-Constructed immediately takes its place as the definitive, critical, and literary-religious study of the great devotional poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. Justus George Lawler, our authority upon transcendental forms and structures in poetry, has a deep lyrical and spiritual affinity with Hopkins. The final chapter, a dialectical synthesis of the great poet-priest's life and work, sets a new standard in the study of Hopkins." - Harold Bloom
