About this ebook
The book, G.M. Hopkins’ Poetry Preaches the Word of God, begins with an account of the relation between art and religion in general and art and literature in particular. This is followed by five chapters; the first four of them are a discussion on the four divisions of the Bible and an attempt to classify Hopkins’ poetry under these four biblical divisions. This is followed by the conclusion that the poetry of Hopkins attempts to preach the Bible to effect the conversion of the readers, particularly the people of England to the Catholic Church.
