Description
Summary:This article is the text of the 2024 Hopkins Lecture given at Southlands College, University of Roehampton. It adopts an experimental narrative form that connects Gerard Manley Hopkins's life with his poetry. It also engages with those contemporary influences which inspired and shaped Hopkins's poetry. It moves between an examination of the style and the religious substance of Hopkins's life and poetry. Touching on Hopkins's adoption of Wales, it concludes with his work as a source of inspiration for the author's own life and work as a Methodist minister.
