Good Books at the London Jesuit Centre: Martin Dubois

Dr Martin Dubois , has been Assistant Professor in the Department of English Studies at the University of Durham since 2018. His main interest is in nineteenth-century poetry and poetics. Dr Dubois' book, Gerard Manley Hopkins and the Poetry of Religious Experience, was published Cambridge University Press in 2017 (paperback 2019) and contests established views of Hopkins’s poetry as a unified project by exploring the shifting way in which he imagines religious belief in individual history. Other recent work includes an essay on Edward Lear and the colonial dimensions of Victorian nonsense for Victorian Studies. His current projects include a study of Victorian poetry and regional dialect.

Fr Philip Endean is a Jesuit priest teaching at the Centres Sèvres, the Jesuit faculty of philosophy and theology in Paris. He graduated in English at Merton College, Oxford, and has a lifelong interest in the work of Gerard Manley Hopkins, and completed his doctorate on the work of Karl Rahner. Fr Endean is a specialist in Ignatian spirituality.
