In this powerful and authoritative study Jody Allen Randolph
provides the fullest account yet of the work of a major figure in
twentieth-century Irish literature as well as in contemporary
women's writing. Eavan Boland's achievement in changing the map of
Irish poetry is tracked and analyzed from her first poems to the
present. The book traces the evolution of that achievement, guiding
the reader through Boland's early attachment to Yeats, her growing
unease with the absence of women's writing, her encounter with
pioneering American poets like Sylvia Plath, Elizabeth Bishop, and
Adrienne Rich, and her eventual, challenging amendments in poetry
and prose to Ireland's poetic tradition. Using research from
private papers the book also traces a time of upheaval and change
in Ireland, exploring Boland's connection to Mary Robinson, in a
chapter that details the nexus of a woman president and a woman
poet in a country that was resistant to both. Finally, this book
invites the reader to share a compelling perspective on the growth
of a poet described by one critic as Ireland's "first great woman
poet."
