Gerard Manley Hopkins: A Study Of His Ignatian Spirit by David A. Downes is a book that explores the life and work of the English poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. The book focuses on Hopkins' connection to the Ignatian spirituality, which is based on the teachings of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuits. The author examines how Hopkins' religious beliefs influenced his poetry and how his poetry reflects his spiritual journey. The book also provides a detailed analysis of Hopkins' major works, including ""The Wreck of the Deutschland"" and ""The Windhover."" The author uses Hopkins' letters, journals, and other writings to provide insight into the poet's life and beliefs. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and work of Gerard Manley Hopkins or the Ignatian spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

This nuanced yet accessible study is the first to examine the range of religious experience imagined in Hopkins's writing. By exploring the shifting way in which Hopkins imagines religious belief in individual history, Martin Dubois contests established views of his poetry as a unified project. Combining detailed close readings with extensive historical research, Dubois argues that the spiritual awareness manifest in Hopkins's poetry is varied and fluctuating, and that this is less a failure of his intellectual system than a sign of the experiential character of much of his poetry's thought. Individual chapters focus on biblical language and prayer, as well as on the spiritual ideal seen in the figures of the soldier and the martyr, and on Hopkins's ideas of death, judgement, heaven and hell. Offering fresh interpretations of the major poems, this volume reveals a more diverse and exploratory poet than has been recognised.
