Gerard Manley Hopkins and Tractarian Poetry for the first time
locates Hopkins and his work within the vital aesthetic and
religious cultures of his youth. It introduces some of the most
powerful cultural influences on his poetry as well as some of the
most influential poets, from the well-known fellow convert John
Henry Newman to the almost forgotten historian and poet Richard
Dixon. From within the context of Hopkins' developing catholic
sensibilities it assesses the impact of and his responses to issues
of the time which related to his own religious and aesthetic
perceptions, and provides a rich and intricate background against
which to view both his early, often neglected poetry and the justly
famous, idiosyncratic and deeply moving verse of his mature years.
By detailing the influences Tractarian poetry had upon Hopkins'
early work, and applying these to the productions of his later
years, Gerard Manley Hopkins and Tractarian Poetry demonstrates how
Hopkins' best known, mature works evolved from his upbringing in
the Church of England and remained always indebted to this early
culture. It offers readings of his works in light of a new
appraisal of the contexts from which Hopkins himself grew,
providing a fresh approach to this most challenging and rewarding
of poets.
