The Poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins | Lecture and Close Readings

Join the live lectures, book clubs, and poetry community at 🏫 https://versedcommunity.mn.co/ Hopkins is one of the greatest and most innovative poets of the past two centuries. Christopher Ricks calls him the “most original poet of the Victorian age.” Robert Bernard Martin claims that Hopkins’s poetry was as influential as T.S. Eliot’s initiation of the modernist movement. In terms of devotional poetry, Hopkins is unique in that his poetry works according to an aesthetic, spiritual principle that he himself perceived in nature. This lecture will explore his unique approach to language, rhythm, and form, while considering his religious beliefs. The lecture provides commentary and close-readings on Hopkins's "Inversnaid," "Heaven-Haven," "Spring," "God's Grandeur," and "The Windhover." #literature
