Abstract
“The Look of Forgiveness” shows that a confrontation with the theology of forgiveness inspires formal experiments by three important British poets of the eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth centuries. The poets under consideration are William Blake, Gerard Manley Hopkins, and David Jones. The study derives its insights from attention to their respective manuscript archives. It concludes by noting the significance of a poetics of forgiveness for criticism.
