This annotated anthology of poems makes available a rich variety of
Irish texts depicting the relationship between humans and the
environment between the years 1580 and 1820. More than a hundred
poems are printed here, together with an extensive critical
introduction, notes on each text, and a full bibliography. All the
poets whose work is represented were born in Ireland or are
identified as Irish. As well as re-publishing the work of major
poets such as Oliver Goldsmith, Laurence Whyte and William
Drummond, this anthology includes many works by little known or
anonymous authors. This volume also reflects current scholarship on
the relationship between literature and the environment, enriching
our understanding of attitudes in pre-Romantic Ireland towards
changing landscapes and agricultural practices, towards human
responsibility for the non-human world, and towards the
relationship between nature and aesthetics. As well as adding
considerably to existing knowledge of the printing and reading of
poetry in Ireland during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
this anthology also traces the developments in sensibility in Irish
poetry during this period, offering new perspectives on the advent
of Romanticism in England and on the ways in which this
revolutionised the relationship between nature and representation.
The anthology fulfils the dual purpose of making a significant
contribution to the study of literature and the environment, and of
expanding our understanding of Irish writing during the period.
