- Title
Hopkins the Romantic? The Question of Empathy in "Spring and Fall.".
- Authors
Wardi, Eynel
- Abstract
The article presents a literary criticism of the poem, "Spring and Fall," by Gerard Manley Hopkins. The main point of the criticism is that Hopkin's poem clearly embraces John Ruskin's idea of "pathetic fallacy"-the technique embraced by Romantic poets and others that allows nature to become anthropomorphized.
