This 1978 critical study of the English Jesuit poet Gerard Manley Hopkins provides original readings of the principal poems. It also gives full explanations of such terms as 'sprung rhythm' and 'inscape', and attempts to gauge the effect on Hopkins of the medieval schoolman John Duns Scotus. There have traditionally been two critical theories about Hopkins' work: that it was the result of a conflict between his priestly and his poetic vocations; or that the poetry was given birth and shaped by his training for the priesthood. John Robinson appraises both these theories fairly and sensitively, and puts forward his own view of the poet's development - that in pursuit of his ideals, Hopkins lived the whole of his life 'in extremity' and that the consequences of this are evident in his poetry, in his joy and in his anguish.

Er ist lieb, intelligent und der Klassenclown. Aber er ist allein, ohne Eltern, ein Pflegekind. Er wird herumgestoßen, abgelehnt und will doch nur irgendwo dazugehören. Er ist Nobody’s Child. John Robinsons Leben gleicht einer Sturzfahrt ins Tal. Mit 18 Jahren sitzt er im Gefängnis – er ist am tiefsten Punkt angekommen. Nach der Haft? Keine Zukunft! Doch es kommt anders. Als Christen ihn auf der Straße ansprechen, beginnt sich sein Leben zu ändern. Er ist in eine neue Richtung unterwegs. Heute arbeitet John Robinson im Auftrag der Kirche von England als Streetworker mit gefährdeten Kindern und Jugendlichen.

Vorschau-Text H08 Er war der Junge, den niemand haben wollte Aufgewachsen in Pflegefamilien und Heimen, herumgestoßen und ungeliebt, landete er erst auf der Straße und mit 18 Jahren im Gefängnis. Die Wende kam, als junge Christen ihn nach der Haft ansprachen und er daraufhin ein neues Leben begann. Heute hilft er selbst gefährdeten Kindern und Jugendlichen, indem er mit Bussen in die Stadtteile der Industrie- und Finanzmetropole Manchesters fährt, wo sich hoffnungslose Jugendliche auf der Straße treffen. Wo Drogen an jeder Ecke zu haben sind. Wo Schüsse aus vorbeifahrenden Autos niemanden mehr erschüttern. John Robinson erzählt, wie es ihm und einer Gruppe Ehrenamtlicher mit Gottes Hilfe gelungen ist, Kindern und Jugendlichen neue Hoffnung zu geben. Das Ergebnis ihres Engagements ist auch in Zahlen messbar: Die Jugendkriminalität in Manchester ist durch diesen Einsatz um 45 % gesunken. Ein inspirierendes und herausforderndes Beispiel. Mit einem Vorwort von Hermann Traub. Aufgewachsen in Pflegefamilien und Heimen, landete er mit 18 im Gefängnis. Da sah John Robinson keine Zukunft mehr für sich. Doch heute hilft er selbst im englischen Manchester gefährdeten Kindern und Jugendlichen: mit einer ungewöhnlichen Busarbeit. Ein spannender Bericht und ein inspirierendes Beispiel.
