Description
Seamus Heaney's poetic career has been marked by constant development and expansion, cementing his place among the world's greatest literary figures. This critical study, first published in 1986, provides a clear and thorough introduction to his work, and its new edition builds on this foundation. The book now includes additional chapters on Heaney's major collections of poems published since 1986, as well as separate discussions of his work as a translator and essayist. The study has been revised and updated, with the benefit of Seamus Heaney's own cooperation and access to his papers. This ensures that the book remains the most useful introduction to Heaney's varied and important body of work, and is also the most up-to-date. Neil Corcoran's work provides a valuable insight into Heaney's poetry, making it an essential resource for anyone looking to understand his work.
