| This study shows that above all, Hopkins is a
poet who uses language in a singular way. It explores critically Hopkins’ poetry in relation to his theologico-philosophical
views. Sheehan shows how intricately linked are Hopkins’ perceptions, the way he chose to express these in poetry
and his idea of inscape, and how these have anticipated many of the developments in the philosophy of language
that took place in the 20th century. |
| Sean Sheehan has studied and taught English literature
and now is a professional writer. He is the author of a recent
study of anarchism and of a guide to Wittgenstein’s philosophy. |
