The author describes how our system of punctuation has grown out of the history of our language. It shows the conventions that govern the best punctuation in the English language, according to the author, by drawing from literary examples from such authors as Amis, Waugh and Greene. John McDermott's previous publications include "Kingsley Amis - An English Moralist", "Hopkins in Lancashire" and "Selected Writings of Francis Thompson".

This Hopkins chronology describes the poet's family and early education, then gives a day-by-day account of what he was doing, reading and writing, and the people he met. Drawing on some material not published before, it illustrates the working life of a priest-poet whose work was not made public until more than thirty years after his death. There are additional sections on the religious and political background of a major Victorian writer whose life was essentially enigmatic and private.
