Over the last two centuries, Ireland has produced some of the
world's most outstanding and best-loved poets, from Thomas Moore to
W. B. Yeats to Seamus Heaney. This introduction not only provides
an essential overview of the history and development of poetry in
Ireland, but also offers new approaches to aspects of the field.
Justin Quinn argues that the language issues of Irish poetry have
been misconceived and re-examines the divide between Gaelic and
Anglophone poetry. Quinn suggests an alternative to both
nationalist and revisionist interpretations and fundamentally
challenges existing ideas of Irish poetry. This lucid book offers a
rich contextual background against which to read the individual
works, and pays close attention to the major poems and poets.
Readers and students of Irish poetry will learn much from Quinn's
sharp and critically acute account.
