The oldest records indicate that the performance of poetry in
Gaelic Ireland was normally accompanied by music, providing a point
of continuity with past tradition while bolstering a sense of
community in the present. Music would also offer, particularly for
poets writing in English from the eighteenth century onwards, a
perceived authenticity, a connection with an older tradition
perceived as being untarnished by linguistic and cultural division.
While providing an innovative analysis of theoretical work in music
and literary studies, this book examines how traditional Irish
music, including the related song tradition (primarily in Irish),
has influenced, and is apparent in, the work of Irish poets. While
looking generally at where this influence is evident historically
and in contemporary Irish poetry, this work focuses primarily on
the work of six poets, three who write in English and three who
write primarily in the Irish language: Thomas Kinsella, Seamus
Heaney, Ciaran Carson, Gearoid Mac Lochlainn, Nuala Ni Dhomhnaill
and Cathal O'Searcaigh.
