Abstract

Hopkins was the most original poet of the nineteenth century, whose work was not published properly until Robert Bridges gave it to the world in 1918. He was essentially an experimentalist who adopted in his verse a ‘sprung rhythm’ which he found in Anglo-Saxon verse forms. He invented his own poetic theories which mainly concerned a poem’s totality and particularity which he called inscape and instress.
