''The Wreck of the Deutschland'' is a long poem by Gerard Manley Hopkins with Christian themes, composed in 1875 and 1876, though not published until 1918.〔(Online text and basic information )〕 The poem depicts the shipwreck of the SS ''Deutschland''. Among those killed in the shipwreck were five Franciscan nuns forced to leave Germany by the Falk Laws; the poem is dedicated to their memory. The poem has attracted considerable critical attention,〔Readings of the Wreck. Ed. Peter Milward and Raymond Schoder. Chicago: University of Loyola Press, 1976.〕 and is often considered Hopkins' masterpiece because of its length, ambition, and use of sprung rhythm and instress. ==Popular culture==
*Hopkins's struggles while writing the poem form the basis for the Ron Hansen novel ''Exiles''. *The poem plays a major role in Anthony Burgess' third "Enderby" novel, ''The Clockwork Testament, or Enderby's End'', in which Enderby pitches an idea for a movie adaptation of the poem and produces a script, only to be duly horrified when the resulting movie bears little resemblance to either his script or to Hopkins's poem. It also makes a notable appearance in Muriel Spark's novella ''The Girls of Slender Means,'' recited by the character Joanna, a budding teacher of elocution in WWII London.
