| Popis | This paper will set aside the traditional readings of "The Windhover" by the Victorian poet Gerard Manley Hopkins (such as those arguing that this sonnet is primarily an expression of Decadent paganism or Christian devotion or simply a love for nature) and instead consider it as Hopkins’s principal illustration of his complex and utterly unique coinages "inscape" and "instress," coinages that were developed, in part, after he had embraced a conception of reality that aligned with that of the medieval Oxford theologian Duns Scotus—an odd choice, especially during the Victorian period, for a poet who was also a Jesuit priest. |
