    Inscape and instress These two terms were coined by the Victorian poet Gerard Manley Hopkins as he developed his theories of what constituted poetry. 'Inscape' means the particular features of a certain landscape or other natural structure, which make it different from any other. The theological belief behind this was that God never repeats himself. Hopkins, as a poet-artist, had to determine just what was especial about any scene. His notebooks show the tremendous care with which he details what he thinks is unique about a particular sunset, cloud formation or even waves. 'Instress' means the actual experience a reader has of inscape: how it is received into the sight, memory and imagination. The poet's job is to find images that will ‘nail' the inscape down for readers, so they can recapture the poet's perception and experience.
