Title of the paper: The influences Gerard Manley Hopkins received and the influences he left over other authors seen in some of his poems.

Author or topic: Gerard Manley Hopkins

Abstract:

In this paper about Gerard Manley Hopkins I will first develop what I have explained in the first paper devoted to the author, the influences he received in order to develop his poetry. In order to do this, I will develop an introduction where I will explain the motives why I chose the poems I further develop, and then I analyzed four of his most important poems, which characterize the different stages of their life and work. Among them I analyzed one of his first poems ‘Barnfloor and Winepress‘, which is influenced by the Victorian way of looking at religion with its intricated typolgy; another poem is ‘The Winehover‘, which falls within the most productive years of Hopkins and is one of his sprung rhythm technique; other poems analyzed is the ‘Pied Beauty‘, shows one of his curtal poems and the treatment Hopkins devoted to Nature and the relationship with religion. The last poem I have chosen to analyze  is ‘The Wreck of Deutschland‘, one of his longer poems that he composed after his conversion to Catholicism, and since he stopped writing at this late stage of his life, he asked his superiors for permission to write about that real fact that depicts the shipwreck of the SS Deutschland, where he discussed religious issues with his most innovative techniques, such as the sprung rhythm and the concept of Instress that characterized his most advanced poetic techniques of the time.

In order to conclude I will show you some examples of what would had been his poetry applied to music, which some authors have recompiled since there are no remains of what he did, and after that I will make a small conclusion of my work which will summarize the most relevant aspects of his work with personal contribuitions of what I have found in my work.

Auto-evaluation: I think I deserve a 6.
