Produktbeschreibung

This book provides a comprehensive exploration of the life, work, and legacy of Gerard Manley Hopkins, one of the most influential poets of the 19th and 20th centuries. Through a deep analysis of Hopkins' poetry and its theological and literary underpinnings, the book delves into the major themes of his work, including the intersection of nature, grace, and the divine, the tension between faith and doubt, and the role of suffering in the spiritual journey. It examines Hopkins' innovative use of sprung rhythm, a revolutionary metrical technique that set him apart from his Victorian contemporaries, and traces his influence on later modernist poets such as T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden, and Ezra Pound. The book also provides an in-depth look at the intellectual and emotional struggles Hopkins faced as a Jesuit priest, grappling with the complexities of religious devotion and artistic expression. Through a careful consideration of his letters, journals, and poetry, this work demonstrates how Hopkins' unique theological vision and creative genius have had a lasting impact on both literary and theological thought. By situating Hopkins' work within the broader context of 19th and 20th-century literary movements, the book highlights his enduring relevance and his continuing influence on contemporary poetry, theology, and spiritual inquiry.
