Hopkins and Heidegger Paperback / softback

Part of the Continuum Literary Studies series
Paperback / softback
Description
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.
