Since his death in 1963, Louis MacNeice's critical standing has
risen steadily. This new study addresses the contexts of MacNeice's
writings which are of greatest relevance to his place in modern
poetry: his problematic, and still controversial relationship with
Ireland and his significance for the understanding of the largely
English `thirties generation' with which he is often identified.
The influence of these contexts upon the nature of MacNeice's
poetic development is studied in detail here together with the
important questions of his relation to Yeats and Modernism. The
book examines MacNeice's conception of parable as key imaginative
response to these influences, and it includes the first study of
the poet's revealing and little-known early writings. Peter
McDonald demonstrates that MacNeice is a central figure in modern
Irish and British poetry of greater substantial complexity than is
often thought, and suggests that his through his work we should see
its contexts in a challenging new light.
