There he forged a lifelong friendship with Robert Bridges (later Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom), which would be important to his development as a poet and in establishing his posthumous acclaim.[6] Hopkins was deeply impressed with the work of Christina Rossetti, who became one of his great contemporary influences and met him in 1864.[7] During this time he studied with the writer and critic Walter Pater, who tutored him in 1866 and remained a friend until Hopkins left Oxford in September 1879.[3][8] "Review: Gerard Manley Hopkins: A Very Private Life by Robert Bernard Martin", London Review of Books, Vol. 13 No. 8, 25 April 1991 Poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins; now first published, edited with notes by Robert Bridges.
