Ecological conscience in Hopkins's "God's Grandeur".
Abstract
Arguably well ahead of his time and even ahead of our own, Gerard Manley Hopkins's poems were virtually unsung until their publication by Robert Bridges in 1918. Many of Hopkins's poems point to the sentimentality and fixation often associated with the Victorian era, and his poetic complexities distance modern readers from a relative ease of understanding. Nature is the thematic center in "God's Grandeur," as in many of Hopkins's most celebrated sonnets. Drawing from Hopkins's focus on the natural world, an ecological paradigm becomes one way teachers can elucidate the work of one of England's most important poets.
