This book introduces Hopkins' poetry and prose through its
wide-ranging engagements with nature, language, science,
philosophy, theology, prosody and social issues. Gerard Manley
Hopkins did not write his poetry for his fellow Victorians nor
indeed for the huge readership it has acquired since it was first
published in 1918, almost forty years after his death. The present
study argues that Hopkins' fascinatingly original poetry is the
most complete expression of his life's work and that it becomes
accessible when it is read with his prose writings as a passionate
exploration of nature, language, philosophy, contemporary science,
theology, and prosody, all of which are also drawn together in his
central ideas of inscape and Sprung Rhythm. These contexts yield
compelling new readings of the full range of his work, including
his early poetry and his neglected poetic fragments, as well as
those poems, such as The Windhover, by which he is best known. A
final chapter steps back from the intensely private contexts in
which the poetry was produced to examine its interactions with
social issues of class and gender.
