Description
The vicissitudes of nineteenth-century British Christianity, both Protestant and Roman Catholic, naturally feature regularly in discussions of Gerard Manley Hopkins. Few scholarly eras, however, include so much, as does the current one, of specific material (Jill Muller's full-length book, Ian Ker's book chapter, and four authors' journal essays) focused on Hopkins' particular situation within the Victorian religious climate. Besides these publications focused specifically on religious sociology, a new Daniel Brown book, with its own steady viewpoints upon Hopkins' religious life, has appeared. Like Brown's earlier tome, that book principally treats Hopkins' unique philosophical thought. Yet it also considers the poems' structure and, as a corollary theme, examines the Jesuit scribe's response to canonical literary predecessors. Several further critical articles also consider the "anxiety of influence" issue. Ultimately, whatever their centering concerns are, we do truly find, within the scholarly studies discussed here, much well-maneuvered exploratory journeying into the various realms of a great poet's literary imagination.
