Seamus Heaney a été présenté par Robert Lowell comme « le meilleur poète irlandais depuis Yeats ». Il est incontestablement l’un des plus importants auteurs contemporains, l’un des plus attachants aussi. Chacun des articles, ici rassemblés, aborde un aspect particulier de sa poésie. Sans prétendre constituer une étude exhaustive, ce volume propose néanmoins un périple dans les confins de l’imagination de Heaney, découvrant son attachement à la terre d’Irlande, à la tradition et aux rituels, mettant à nu les différentes couches de signification du poème, découvrant les réseaux symboliques, ou encore étudiant la naissance et la gestation du mythe nouveau de la tourbière. Seamus Heaney was presented by Robert Lowell as "the best Irish poet since Yeats". He is undoubtedly one of the most important contemporary authors, one of the most endearing too. Each of the articles, gathered here, addresses a particular aspect of his poetry. Without claiming to be an exhaustive study, this volume nevertheless proposes a journey into the confines of Heaney's imagination, discovering his attachment to the land of Ireland, tradition and rituals, exposing the different layers of meaning of the poem, discovering symbolic networks, or studying the birth and gestation of the new myth of the moor.

The first detailed introduction to the entirety of Seamus Heaney’s workThis study will enable readers to gain clearer understanding of the life and major works of Seamus Heaney. It considers literary influences on Heaney, ranging from English poets such as Wordsworth, Hughes, and Auden to Irish poets such as Kavanagh and Yeats to world poets such as Virgil and Dante. It shows how Heaney was closely attuned to poetry's impact on daily life and current events even as he articulated a convincing apologia for poetry's own life and integrity. Discussing Heaney's deep immersion in Irish Catholicism, this book demonstrates how faith influenced his belief system, poetry and politics. Finally, it also considers how deeply Heaney's artistic endeavours were intertwined with politics in Northern Ireland, especially through his embrace of constitutional nationalism but rejection of physical force republicanism.Key FeaturesIncludes sections on biography, historical, cultural and political contexts, poetry and other genres, as well as a concluding section on primary works and secondary criticismPays special attention to the marriage of form and content in the poetry and how they work together to express subtle shades of meaningOffers close readings of Heaney's canonical poems throughout his career, including the early seminal poems such as Digging, the ‘bog poems’, and his many elegies, such as Casualty, Station Island, and ClearancesDraws on drafts of the poems and prose at the Heaney archives at Emory University and the National Library of Ireland

Nobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, author of nine collections of poetry and three volumes of influential essays, is regarded by many as the greatest Irish poet since Yeats. Passage to the Center is the most comprehensive critical treatment to date on Heaney's poetry and the first to study Heaney's body of work up to Seeing Things and The Spirit Level. It is also the first to examine the poems from the perspective of religion, one of Heaney's guiding preoccupations. According to Tobin, the growth of Heaney's poetry may be charted through the recurrent figure of ""the center,"" a key image in the

What is the relationship between poetry and power? Should poetry be considered a mode of authority or an impotent medium? And why is it that the modern poets most commonly regarded as authoritative are precisely those whose works wrestle with a sense of artistic inadequacy? Such questions lie at the heart of this study, prompting fresh insights into three of the most important poets of recent decades: Robert Lowell, Geoffrey Hill and Seamus Heaney. Through attentive close reading and the tracing of dominant motifs in each writer's works, James shows how their responsiveness to matters of political and cultural import lends weight to the idea of poetry as authoritative utterance, as a medium for speaking of and to the world in a persuasive, memorable manner. And yet, as James demonstrates, each poet is exercised by an awareness of his own cultural marginality, even by a sense of the limitations and liabilities of language itself.
