In this incisive and highly readable study, Rachel Buxton offers a
much-needed assessment of Frost's significance for Northern Irish
poetry of the past half-century. Drawing upon a diverse range of
previously unpublished archival sources, including juvenilia,
correspondence, and drafts of poems, Robert Frost and Northern
Irish Poetry takes as its particular focus the triangular dynamic
of Frost, Seamus Heaney, and Paul Muldoon. Buxton explores the
differing strengths which each Irish poet finds in Frost's work:
while Heaney is drawn primarily to the Frost persona and to the
"sound of sense", it is the studied slyness and wryness of the
American's poetry, the complicating undertow, which Muldoon values.
This appraisal of Frost in a non-American context not only enables
a fuller appreciation of Heaney's and Muldoon's poetry but also
provides valuable insight into the nature of trans-national and
trans-generational poetic influence. Engaging with the politics of
Irish-American literary connections, while providing a subtle
analysis of the intertextual relationships between these three key
twentieth-century poets, Robert Frost and Northern Irish Poetry is
a pioneering work.
