- Authors

- Abstract
The Victorian-era poet Gerard Hopkins is not only recognized as a religious and nature poet, but also a landscape poet with unique visual sensitivity and expression. His landscape poetry skillfully merges nature and religion together, where the scenery under his pen has both the transcendental divinity of religion and the material existence of reality, achieving a balance between theological and ecological perspectives. Through his descriptions of landscape of diversity and sublimity, Hopkins' poems reflect his deep respect and devotion to divine nature, and meanwhile with the modern ecological theology to resist the demystification of nature by rationalism, Hopkins thus promotes a return to the re-enchantment of nature.
