eng To Cremate or Bury: Gerard Manley Hopkins, Coventry Patmore, and Biographical Postmortem Hopkins?s biographical post-mortem has been altered immensely by the choices of which manuscripts to burn and which to preserve, and those choices have often involved a sensitivity to the homoerotic and pederastic. Fr Thomas Wheeler (SJ), Robert Bridges (Hopkins?s literary executor), and Hopkins?s family participated in this purging, opting for a clarification of Hopkins?s life through choosing which manuscript evidence to preserve. However, what remains is still problematic. As a conundrum, Hopkins?s textual remains became the test case for employing forensic tools in the study of literary manuscripts, with various instruments installed in the Bodleian and British Libraries specifically for Norman MacKenzie?s authoritative Oxford English Text edition and Garland Press Facsimile volumes. Such forensic tools, modelled on those at Scotland Yard, have altered our view of Hopkins forever, and the resultant manuscript autopsies have proven unpleasant and unethical to many scholars. These autopsies, added to the publication of suppressed materials, reveal a far more Uranian Hopkins. Erotic disclosures in Hopkins?s confession notes and ?Epithalamion? drafts serve to define him as a voyeur of cart-boys, choristers, and ?heavenfallen freshmen?, serve to define him erotically ? by dictionary definition ? as a ?pederast?, even if only on the level of his ?looking?. Such disclosures have left many critics wondering whether these manuscripts should have been burned or kept (as when James Earl bemoaned the survival of the ?Epithalamion? in 1990).
