In recent years Seamus Heaney has earned the reputation of being âthe most important Irish poet since Yeatsâ. In this book, originally published in 1982, Blake Morrison identifies the central characteristics of his achievement, uncovering the sources of Heaneyâs poems, placing his work within both Irish and Anglo-American traditions and explaining his poetryâs complex relation to the political troubles in Northern Ireland. A lively, personal and carefully researched account by a writer who is himself a poet and critic, this book forcefully challenges some of the myths surrounding Heaneyâs work and places it in proper perspective.
