This book sheds light on the intimate relationship between built
space and the mind, exploring the ways in which architecture
inhabits and shapes both the memory and the imagination. Examining
the role of the house, a recurrent, even haunting, image in art and
literature from classical times to the present day, it includes new
work by both leading scholars and early career academics, providing
fresh insights into the spiritual, social, and imaginative
significances of built space. Further, it reveals how engagement
with both real and imagined architectural structures has long been
a way of understanding the intangible workings of the mind itself.
Northern Irish Poetry and Domestic Space explores why houses, in
some ways the most private of spaces, have taken up such visibly
public positions in the work of a range of prominent poets from
Northern Ireland, examining the work of Seamus Heaney, Michael
Longley, Derek Mahon and Medbh McGuckian.

Poetry, Politics, and the Law in Modern Ireland is a richly
detailed exploration of how modern Irish poetry has been shaped by,
and responded to, the laws, judgments, and constitutions of both of
the island's jurisdictions. Focusing on poets' responses in their
writing to such contentious legal issues as partition, censorship,
paramilitarism, and the curtailment of women's reproductive and
other rights, this volume is the first in the growing field of law
and literature to monograph exclusively on modern Ireland. Hanna
unpacks the legal engagements of both major and non-canonical poets
from every decade between the 1920s and the present day, including
Rhoda Coghill, Austin Clarke, Paul Durcan, Elaine Feeney, Miriam
Gamble, Seamus Heaney, Thomas Kinsella, Paula Meehan, Julie
Morrissy, Doireann Ni Ghriofa, and W. B. Yeats. Poetry from the
time of independence onwardhas been shaped by two opposing forces.
On the one hand, the Irish public has traditionally had strong
expectations that poets offer a dissenting counter-discourse to
official sources of law. On the other hand, poets have more
recently expressed skepticism about the ethics of speaking for
others and about the adequacy of art in performing a public role.
Hanna's fascinating study illuminates the poetry that arises from
these antithetical modern conditions.
