Summary
This chapter explores the ways in which Hopkins was deliberately and accidentally in proximity to key sites of Victorian industrial progress throughout his life and career. It considers also his interest in the interplay and tension between nature and the industrial environment. This, the chapter proposes, is evident as much in the forms and structures of his poetry as in its content.
