520 1 $a"With Exiles, Ron Hansen tells the story of a notorious shipwreck that prompted Gerard Manley Hopkins to break years of "elected silence" with an outpouring of dazzling poetry." "In December 1875 the steamship Deutschland left Bremen, bound for England and then America. On board were five young nuns who, exiled by Bismarck's laws against Catholic religious orders, were going to begin their lives anew in Missouri. Early one morning, the ship ran aground in the Thames estuary and more than sixty lives were lost - including those of the five nuns." "Hopkins was then a Jesuit seminarian in Wales, and he was so moved by the news of the shipwreck that he wrote a grand poem about it, his first serious work since abandoning a literary career at Oxford to become a priest. He, too, would die young, an exile from the literary world, where his work remained unpublished. But as Hansen's account of Hopkins's life makes clear, he fulfilled his calling."--BOOK JACKET.
