Does Northern Ireland need `identity'? Does it make sense to
discuss politics and literature in such terms? And what does it
mean to make a connection between poetry and violence? In this
controversial and original study, the Northern Irish poet and
critic Peter McDonald examines the poetry of Seamus Heaney, along
with work by Louis MacNeice, John Hewitt, Michael Longley, Derek
Mahon, Tom Paulin, Ciaran Carson, Paul Muldoon, and others. He
argues against the totalizing ambitions of identity-politics, and
questions the value of nationalist assumptions, amongst both Irish
and non-Irish critics, for the understanding of Northern Irish
poetry. McDonald contends that a close attention to this poetry
disables crude analysis and subverts political analogies in terms
of `identity'. In a series of subtle and illuminating readings,
Mistaken Identities shows how the best poets from Northern Ireland
have made an issue of poetic form, and establishes the significance
of this for post-nationalist criticism on both sides of the Irish
Sea.
