Abstract

Derek Mahon, born in Belfast in 1942, is one of the leading poets of his time, both in Ireland and beyond, famously offering a perspective that is displaced from as much as grounded in his native country. From prodigious beginnings to prolific maturity, he has been, through thick and thin, through troubled times and other, a writer profoundly committed to the art and craft of poetry, and to forging a poetic idiom pitched against the realities of modernity. He has also been a committed reviser of his work, believing the poem to be more than a completed record in verse, but a work of art never finished. This virtuoso study by Hugh Haughton provides a comprehensive account of Mahon's oeuvre, in the context of Northern Irish writing and modern poetry more generally. Haughton's brilliant writing always serves and illuminates the poetry, yielding extraordinary insights on almost every page. The poetry, his revisions and reception, are its subject, but the book also offers a compelling intellectual biography of the poet and an account of Irish poetry vital to our understanding of the times.

Abstract

Freud was fascinated by the mysteries of creativity and the imagination. The major pieces collected here explore the vivid but seemingly trivial childhood memories that often 'screen' far more uncomfortable desires; the links between literature and daydreaming - and our intensely mixed feelings about things we experience as 'uncanny'. His insights into the roots of artistic expression in the triangular 'family romances' (of father, mother and infant) that so dominate our early lives, and the parallels between our own memories and desires and the tormented career of a genius like Leonardo, reveal the artistry of Freud's own writing. And his celebrated study of Leonardo, Freud's first exercise in psycho-biography, brilliantly uses a single memory to reveal the childhood conflicts behind both Leonardo's remarkable achievements and his striking eccentricity.
