Edna Longley's latest collection of critical essays marks a move
back from Irish culture and politics to poetry itself as the
critic's central concern. She considers how poets are read and
received at different times and in different contexts, by academics
as well as by a wider readership, and from Irish, English and
American viewpoints. But her interest in the reception of poetry is
still very much influenced by debates about literature and politics
in a Northern Ireland context, and in the book's final essay she
relates poetry to the "peace process". In two of these essays, The
Poetics of Celt and Saxon and Pastoral Theologies, she has some fun
with mutual stereotypes (the Hughes or Heaney figure), and with
English misreadings of Irish poetry and its cultural and
intellectual environment, and Irish poets' frequent complicity in
this situation. In other essays she discusses Edward Thomas and
eco-centrism, the criticism of Louis MacNeice and Tom Paulin, and
the poetry of Larkin and Auden. Poetry and Posterity follows Edna
Longley's recently reissued Poetry in the Wars, her classic work on
Ireland, poetry and war, and her much celebrated book, The Living
Stream: Literature & Revisionism in Ireland.
