‘Technique as a revelation of mystical Experience: A study of the poems of Gerard Manley Hopkins and George Herbert’ is an intensive study of the Christian life and mystical experiences of the poets which serve as the fundamental back ground to their poetry, so much so that they seem to play an important role, a connecting nexus of the design and format, the material and substance, the finale and achievement of their works.

The introductory chapter defines mysticism and explains the attributes of mystics. Mysticism of different religions is analyzed. Specifically characteristics peculiar to Christian mysticism with reference to the great mystics of the world, and in particular, great Christian mystics of England and their views are dealt with. The chapter deals with mysticism in Christian literature with special reference to George Herbert and Gerard Manley Hopkins as mystics. It explains how as Christian mystics their experiences involve the perfect consummation of the love of God and highlights the art of establishing their conscious relation with the absolute. Above all union with Him is the ultimate object of their existence.
