Become a Friend of The Irish Gerard Manley Hopkins Society! We were founded in 1987 to celebrate the poet, Gerard Manley Hopkins and his interests: poetry, painting, music, the arts, philosophy.
Mainly, of course, we do this through our Annual Gerard Manley Hopkins Summer School which takes place during the last week of July since 1987.
We are also building up our online Gerard Manley Hopkins Archive, a resource for scholars, students and lovers of Hopkins poetry worldwide.
