Yeats, Dates, and Kipling
This article proposes that W. B. Yeats's ‘Easter 1916’, intertextually linked to ‘September 1913’ and ‘Nineteen Hundred and Nineteen’, is also a subtle response to the political and sectarian quarrels of 1912–1914 as manifest in Rudyard Kipling's poems ‘Ulster (1912)’ and ‘The Covenant’. It examines the ways in which Kipling, and those in Ireland who reacted negatively to him, drew on the Easter sacrificial rhetoric later to be associated with th…
‘The Nothing-Could-Be-Simpler Line’
This chapter explores form in contemporary Irish poetry, focusing on the work of three poets from Ireland – David Wheatley, Caitríona O'Reilly, and Justin Quinn – who have also been loosely (if not always accurately) associated with formal conservatism, even with a new formalism. Quinn's first poetry collection, The O'o'a'a' Bird, was published in 1995, Wheatley's Thirst in 1997, and O'Reilly's The Nowhere Birds in 2001. Wheatley's Misery Hill (2…
The Oxford Handbook of Modern Irish Poetry
"Forty chapters, written by leading scholars across the world, describe the latest thinking on modern Irish poetry. The Handbook begins with a consideration of Yeats's early work, and the legacy of the 19th century. The broadly chronological areas which follow, covering the period from the 1910s through to the 21st century, allow scope for coverage of key poetic voices in Ireland in their historical and political context. From the experimentalism…
Pledged to Ireland
In the Easter week of 1916, Irish Volunteers took over several locations in Dublin as acts of insurrectionary defiance against continuing British rule in Ireland. The leading figures of the rebellion were executed, including three poets known as ‘The 1916 poets’: Thomas MacDonagh, Padraic Pearse, and Joseph Mary Plunkett. The pastoral poet Francis Ledwidge knew, and was known by, the poet-leaders of the Rising, and wrote elegies for Plunkett and …
Modern Irish and Scottish Poetry
The comparative study of the literatures of Ireland and Scotland has emerged as a distinct and buoyant field in recent years. This collection of new essays offers the first sustained comparison of modern Irish and Scottish poetry, featuring close readings of texts within broad historical and political contextualisation. Playing on influences, crossovers, connections, disconnections and differences, the 'affinities' and 'opposites' traced in this …
Cenotaphs of snow
The Cambridge Companion to Contemporary Irish Poetry
In the last fifty years Irish poets have produced some of the most exciting poetry in contemporary literature, writing about love and sexuality, violence and history, country and city. This book, first published in 2003, provides an introduction to major figures such as Seamus Heaney, and also introduces the reader to significant precursors like Louis MacNeice or Patrick Kavanagh, and vital contemporaries and successors: among others, Thomas Kins…
The Cambridge Companion to Seamus Heaney
Seamus Heaney is a unique phenomenon in contemporary literature, as a poet whose individual volumes (such as his Beowulf translation, and individual volumes of poems such as Electric Light and District and Circle) have been high in the bestseller lists for decades. Since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, he has come to be considered one of the most important English language poets in the world. This Companion gives an overview of his career…
