内容説明
Late in his career, the Irish poet Austin Clarke was asked by Robert Frost what kind of poetry he wrote. 'I load myself with chains, ' Clarke replied, 'and try to get out of them.' 'Good Lord!' Frost said. 'You can't have many readers.' Despite a distinguished career spanning almost sixty years, Austin Clarke has not had many readers outside Ireland. Inside Ireland, many critics ranked Clarke as the most important Irish poet writing after Yeats, but his work has not received extensive critical attention -- partly because it is often difficult and complex, and partly because Clarke was committed to writing not just about the Irish, but also for the Irish. In The Poetry of Austin Clarke, the first published book-length study of Clarke's poetry, Gregory Schirmer argues against seeing Clarke as a provincial writer. Rather, he sees Clarke's large and varied canon as informed by a broad humanistic vision that enables it to transcend Clarke's commitment to the local.
