Download or read book On Inscape s Curve written by William Flewelling and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2020-07-09 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My poems help me see what is in front of me. They typically find that an image is presented, an image that seems to suggest a line of verse, just one which, when written down, enters into a cadence, a rhythm, a sense of sound and echo that evolves into a sequence of lines that flow. They flow until they stop, that is, and announce to me that the poem is, in facet, done. That is true whether the image is a raindrop or a tree, a flower or a bird, a shadow or the innuendo of faith or country: whatever. This book draws upon poems written some years ago, mostly in the years 2009 and 2015. There are also a few current poems that insist themselves into the collection as they are accumulated in the current year's file. As I revisit poems of years ago, quite often the occasion presents itself to memory - but not always so. Sometimes that occasion is as if unnecessary and, indeed, almost in the way of the poem as it has come to be. Revisiting is always a pleasure; it becomes one of the spurs toward forming the collection itself. Indeed, it s the pleasure and the satisfaction in the book that brings it about. Satisfaction is such a boon to life.
Download or read book The Poem as Sacrament written by Philip A. Ballinger and published by Peeters Publishers. This book was released on 2000 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a study of the writings and intellectual development of Gerard Manley Hopkins, Dr. Philip Ballinger demonstrates why poetry is, as Hans Urs von Balthasar stated, "the absolutely appropriate theological language". While circling Hopkins' visions of the nature of sensual experience, intuitive cognition, and the function of language, Ballinger focuses upon the sacramental intention of the Victorian Jesuit's poetry. Underlying Hopkins' poetry is a vision of reality as divinely revelatory or 'self-expressive'. For Hopkins, this revelatory character of creation is determined by the incarnation, and beauty, in fact, is a word for 'Christic self-expressiveness'.

Download or read book Inscape written by James Finn Cotter and published by Wipf and Stock. This book was released on 2022-09-30 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Viewing the achievement of Gerard Manley Hopkins against the background of Christian tradition and the nineteenth-century developments of evolutionary and religious expression of that tradition, the author interprets virtually the entire corpus of Hopkins' writings in terms of the radical integration of myth and historical existence. This is the unity Hopkins sought to achieve in his life and labored to express in poetry. Following the lead of John Henry Newman, Henry Parry Liddon, and other Oxford thinkers, Hopkins researched the Bible, the fathers of the church, and the Schoolmen in his quest for a personal reincarnation of Christian gnosis, existential knowledge of Jesus Christ. This mythmaking search is traced in the book through its three sections: ""Christology,"" where the poet's readings in Parmenides, St. Paul and the Gospel writers, the church fathers, and the Schoolmen show the originality of his philosophical approach; ""Poetry,"" where the poems themselves, through their imagery and language, frame the expression of the new vision; and ""Gnosis,"" where the final shape of the vision reveals a dynamically integrating concept, which Hopkins called ""inscape"" and which anticipates the idea of Omega formulated by Teilhard de Chardin. Inscape is not a line by line explication of the poems but is instead an examination of Hopkins' thought. So that the reader may discover the poet's central achievement, the author attempts to let Hopkins speak for himself. This book should cause both theologians and literary critics to see, as Hopkins saw, old truths with renewed imagination. It also presents a fresh view of Hopkins' poetry with new interpretations of the major poems in the light of his unifying myth.

Download or read book Gerard Manley Hopkins s Poetics of Anxiety and Transience written by Mirko Starčević and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2023-10-25 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book analyses the themes of anxiety and transience in the poetical thought of Gerard Manley Hopkins, a prominent 19th-century poet. The book argues that, despite Hopkins’s strong religious beliefs, his artistic vision and quest for an original aesthetic were the foremost concerns in his poetry. The author examines Hopkins’s early interest in transience, which he later developed through the influence of the philosopher Duns Scotus and the aesthetic critic Walter Pater. In the second half of the book, the author employs Martin Heidegger’s philosophy to deepen our understanding of Hopkins’s poetics of anxiety and transience. He illuminates how these themes shaped Hopkins’s poetic voice, revealing his affinity with Romanticism and his belief that transience and anxiety enhance rather than hinder the creative process. The book provides a fresh perspective on Hopkins’s work, challenging the prevailing views that downplay the importance of these themes. While the book is primarily a contribution to literary scholarship, it may also appeal to readers interested in the intersection of literature, philosophy and art.

Download or read book Hopkins and Heidegger written by Brian Willems and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-10-27 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hopkins and Heidegger is a new exploration of Gerard Manley Hopkins' poetics through the work of Martin Heidegger. More radically, Brian Willems argues that the work of Hopkins does no less than propose solutions to a number of hitherto unresolved questions regarding Heidegger's later writings, vitalizing the concepts of both writers beyond their local contexts. Willems examines a number of cross-sections between the poetry and thought of Hopkins and the philosophy of Heidegger. While neither writer ever directly addressed the other's work - Hopkins died the year Heidegger was born, 1899, and Heidegger never turns his thoughts on poetry to the Victorians - a number of similarities between the two have been noted but never fleshed out. Willems' readings of these cross-sections are centred on Hopkins' concepts of 'inscape' and 'instress' and around Heidegger's reading of both appropriation (Ereignis) and the fourfold (das Geviert). This study will be of interest to scholars and postgraduates in both Victorian literature and Continental philosophy.
