Summary

This chapter proposes that Hopkins’s poems are distinctive in being actively and vividly addressed – to their subjects, to the imagined reader, and to God – or, at times, in staging forms of address that seem to have gone awry. The suggestion is that Hopkins makes poetic address morally vital; its turns and complexities map social, moral, and theological terrain.
