{"product_id":"collected-works-of-gerard-manley-ho","title":"Collected Works Of Gerard Manley Ho","description":"Sketches and Scholarly Studies: Part II, Musical Settings and Sketches brings together two crucial aspects of Gerard Manley Hopkins''s insatiable drive to create: drawing, predominantly (but not exclusively) from the early part of his life, when he had ambitions to be a painter; and music, from the later part of his life, when he found in music suggestions of a new contact with the eternal. Hopkins grew up in a home that emphasized cultural and artistic accomplishments; his brothers Arthur and Everard were both professional illustrators, and his sister Grace was an accomplished pianist. Limited as the corpus of Hopkins''s drawings is--four small sketchbooks and a handful of loose drawings--there is certainly evidence to suggest that he might have been a successful illustrator adhering to Ruskinian principles. This edition reproduces the surviving drawings, with a full introduction and annotations placing them in the context of Hopkins''s creative life. His musical compositions are presented in both manuscript facsimiles and new transcriptions, revealing his exploration, in a new mode, of ideas of rhythm, harmony, and counterpoint.","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57577971384702,"sku":"NW9780192889140","price":194.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9780192889140.jpg?v=1783344276","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/en-eu\/products\/collected-works-of-gerard-manley-ho","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
