"Man Jack the man is": An Analysis of Gerald Manley Hopkins' sonnet The Sheperd's Brow
2020
Although the sonnet The Shepherd’s Brow, written by G. M. Hopkins only a few months before his death, has been considered by Robert Bridges an unfinished work, critics have gradually tended to agree that it is one of the poet’s most refined and powerful poems, structurally and thematically. W. H. Gardner has read in it a “Swiftean cynicism”, while other more recent scholars have defined it “conflicted” (Mariani), “ironic and damned” (Feeney), and above all “cryptic” (Sobolev). Often studied as an ideal appendix to the so called “terrible sonnets”, by offering a close-reading of the sonnet this article argues that The Shepherd’s Brow is one of Hopkins’ most powerful poems, marking an importa…

'A Ghastly and Blasphemous Nightmare ': Environmental Ethics in Dickens's Journalism
2018
In the article ironically entitled A Monument of French Folly, published in Household Words, 8th of March, 1851, Charles Dickens targeted a number of civic reforms in municipal abattoirs located within the city walls of London as well as the English arrogant reluctance to adopt the hygienic measures practiced in French slaughterhouses. Dickens’s article was part of the foregoing struggle to relocate the Smithfield livestock market and surrounding slaughterhouses from the City of London in the city outskirts, so as to prevent ventilation problems and the risk of miasmic infection. The aim of this paper is to examine Dickens’s article in the light of contemporary environmental concerns. I wil…
Irony in Thomas De Quincey's works
2014
Studying the works of De Quincey necessarily leads to three concepts almost impossible to define: autobiography, Romanticism, and all-too neglected irony. Whether rhetorical, tragic or “romantic”, irony expresses perfectly the many contradictions of the opium-eater. As the rhetorical tool of conflict and self-derision, claiming both individualistic and community values, sociable and provoking, irony is the way to redemption as much as the expression of deep unease, a way of pushing himself forward, or of withdrawing into the background. Caught between Romanticism and Victorianism, De Quincey questions the limits of his own identity and his status as an intellectual, and exploits reluctantly…

The "intimate enemies": Edward Dowden, W. B. Yeats and the formation of character
2014
Published version of an article in the journal: Nordic Journal of English Studies. Also available from the publisher at: http://ojs.ub.gu.se/ojs/index.php/njes/article/view/2917 Open Access Stung by Edward Dowden's reluctance to endorse the Irish Literary Revival, W. B. Yeats distanced himself publicly from the TCD Professor. This act of distancing has largely been accepted by subsequent scholarship as a reflection of Dowden's lack of influence on Yeats. Despite obvious disagreements on some key points, this essay will argue that Yeats is close to Dowden on a number of issues, by tracing their intimate dialogue about the writings of George Eliot, Shakespeare and Goethe. The concept of forma…
