Abstract

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 up-to-date overview of his career thus far, and of his reception in Ireland, England and around the world. Its distinguished contributors offer detailed readings of all his major publications, in poetry, prose and translation. The essays further explore the central themes of his poetry, his relations with other writers, and his prose writing. Designed for students, this volume will also have much to interest and inform the general reader and admirer of Heaney's unique poetic voice.

Abstract

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.
