Book Description
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.

Book Description
This dissertation undertakes an analysis of the ontological and aesthetic features of transience and anxiety in the poetical thought of Gerard Manley Hopkins. One of the central tasks of the dissertation is also to show that, notwithstanding the stringent devotional impulses present in Hopkins's thought, the poetic vocation, concerned with the inmost need to forge an inimitable and original aesthetic, occupies the most privileged position in Hopkins's life. Although in his youthful days Hopkins does address the subject of transience, he does so, as this dissertation establishes, in a naïve manner. The residual markers of that interest are during his Oxford years for a brief spell of time expunged from the purview of his mind, for then the devotional matters more so than the strictly poetic questions come to consume him with a more feverous ferocity. At the same time, however, Walter Pater, one of the individuals who strongly sways the currents of Hopkins's ideas, rekindles his interest in the nature of transience, an interest which is further stimulated by his reading of Duns Scotus's philosophical works on haecceity and is, gradually, transformed into the language of poetry. In the second half of the work, Martin Heidegger's phenomenological thought is introduced into the discursive scope of the dissertation with the aim of improving the understanding of the vehement appearance of the poetics of transience and anxiety in Hopkins's verse. The purpose of introducing the framework of Heidegger's ideas is not to reduce Hopkins's views to a set of philosophical presuppositions but to illuminate the yet unexplored vistas of Hopkins's poetry, to make explicit the manner in which transience and anxiety, in a piecemeal fashion, come to command the rudder of his thoughts. This phenomenological approach to analysis also helps to uncover Hopkins's growing affinity with Romanticism, his ability to mould the language of anxiety, and to reveal that Hopkins's antithetical authenticity is an emergent of his alacrity to contemplate transience. In other words, the dissertation establishes, against the prevailing view, that Hopkins regards transience and anxiety as entities which enhance rather than hamper the strange and uncertain workings of the creative processes, as entities which beget rather than annihilate the language of inspiration.
