Description
This collection of essays presents an "insider" view of the Irish poetic tradition. It brings together some of the best-known poets and critics writing in Ireland today, exploring the multiple traditions and influences within Anglo-Irish poetry from the 19th century to the present. It includes important essays on Yeats, on alternative traditions represented by Austin Clarke and Louis MacNiece, on Irish modernists, on Patrick Kavanagh and on the literary heritage of contemporary Irish poets - Seamus Heaney, Derek Mahon, Brendan Kennelly, Paul Muldoon and Paul Durcan. Terence Brown is the author of "Louis MacNiece - Sceptical Vision", "Northern Voices - Poets from Ulster" and "Ireland - A Social and Cultural History". Nicholas Grene has written "Synge - A Critical Study of the Plays", "Shakespeare", "Johnson", "Moliere", "the Comic Contract" and "Bernard Shaw - A Critical View".
