Colonial Consequences contains sixteen essays in Irish literature
and culture by Belfast-born, Vancouver-based critic John Wilson
Foster. The essays survey texts, genres and cultural backgrounds,
from eighteenth-century landscape verse, the origins of Irish
modernism, Yeats's great poem 'Easter 1916', to the literature and
life-styles of Northern Ireland. They give eloquent, close readings
of specific writers - Kavanagh, Hewitt, Rodgers, Montague, Murphy,
Donoghue - and at the heart of the book Foster expands on his 1974
study of Seamus Heaney with a new and challenging analysis of the
poet as a deeply political writer, working through cultural
traditions that are questioned, while respected. The volume
concludes with recent essays which have made Foster an important
figure in the current debate over political meanings and cultural
trends in a riven, unsettled society. An unusual, personal
introduction by the author retraces the steps that led him to these
combative and penetrating inquiries. Scholarly, engaged and
readably written, locally rooted yet globally perceived, they
provide a rich matrix of interpretation which frames the past while
clarifying the future.
