| adam_text | Interviewed in 1966, Geoffrey Hill said, ‘Language contains everything
you want—history, sociology, economics: it is a kind of drama of human
destiny’. This book shows how the work of one of the major post-war
writers in English has been charged by a mythological sense of language’s
historical drama, by reading the whole body of Hill’s poetry from the last
sixty years against a tradition of visionary poet-philologists that he himself
has delineated. That line runs from the present-day editors of the Oxford
English Dictionary, through Gerard Manley Hopkins and Richard
Chenevix Trench in the Victorian era, to Samuel Taylor Coleridge in
the early nineteenth century, and ultimately back to Saint Augustine’s
theory of language. Through detailed close readings of Hill’s work and its
scholarly inspirations, and extensive fresh archival research, new light is
shed upon poetry’s relation to lexicography, etymology, and theological
understandings of language. Key themes include language’s fallenness
from prelapsarian origins, its infection and enrichment by original sin
and error, the possible recovery of its pristine origins through surrogates
such as music, Hebrew, or the language of angels, and its status as an arena
of political and historical contestation. The book considers a wider range
of Hill’s writings, in greater detail, than criticism of his work has so far
done, and it is the first to make substantial use of recently available archive
materials. It thereby presents one of the fullest and most authoritative
accounts of the work of a living writer in recent years.
Matthew Sperling is Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the
University of Reading
