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.

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.

Caractérisée par sa beauté lyrique et sa profondeur éthique, qui fait ressortir les miracles du quotidien et de passé vivant ». Il se penche ici sur le processus de la propre création poétique dans un texte particulièrement révélateur, car son œuvre n’est pas seulement poésie, mais aussi « pensée sur la poésie et tentative pour définir le personnage du poète, dans un vaste mouvement où tout est étroitement lié, où créer est inséparable de la réflexion sur l’acte créateur ». On trouvera ensuite des articles de spécialistes de la littérature irlandaise et d’amoureux de la poésie qui tous l’appliquent à décrire la « transition du monde des données aux mots de l’invention » et proposent un périple dans les confins de l’imagination de S. Heaney lui exprime son attachement à la terre d’Irlande, dans la gestion, par exemple, du mythe nouveau de la tourtière, mais donne en même temps à sa poésie une perspective internationale. L’artiste qui reste le plus modèle aux traditions locales est aussi le plus universel.
