Short description:
A concise and authoritative guide to the ideas and influences shaping Hopkins's life and writing.
MoreLong description:
Gerard Manley Hopkins was one of the most innovative British poets of the nineteenth century. This book provides an authoritative guide to the ideas and influences shaping Hopkins's life and writing. Consisting of thirty-eight essays by leading scholars, the book covers topics that have long attracted scholarly attention while also responding to recent critical trends. It considers Hopkins's formal innovations alongside his theological and philosophical ideas. Chapters examine his Victorian aesthetic and cultural contexts as well as the significance of his ecological imagination and response to environmental degradation. Hopkins's poetry was not widely known until the 1930s, and the book closes by discussing the distinctive nature of its reception and influence. Informed by original research but accessibly written, the essays enable a fresh engagement with the originality of Hopkins's writing and thought.
'A very informative and well-conceived text, which sets out to place the poet in his Victorian context... The book is a gift... It's a dense study, and very compact, but well worth your time and effort, if you would study the genius and beauty of this Victorian poet, a gift for us all.' Paul Mariani, Journal of Jesuit Studies
