内容説明

With detailed readings of major poems and analysis of manuscript revisions, Ellis examines how Hopkins' particular vision of "mystery" pervasively affects, not only his own language, but a reader's approach to that language. Ellis begins by establishing a context of theory, inheritance, and terminology, both theological and literary, with emphasis on Hopkins' definition of "mystery". Part 2 offers a detailed (and in organization unorthodox) reading of The Wreck of the Deutschland. Part 3 explores major poems from the years 1877 to 1889, grouped thematically rather than chronologically. The fourth and final section examines the "terrible sonnets". Gerard Manley Hopkins and the Language of Mystery will appeal to scholars and new readers of Hopkins alike because it combines depth of comprehension with fundamental usefulness. Ellis' love of poems and her desire to convey that love are fully evident in the care with which she explores each poem.
