What is Paul Muldoon: Critical Essays (Liverpool University Press - Liverpool English Texts & Studies) about?

The essays in this book testify to the fascination of Paul Muldoon's poems, and also to their underlying contentiousness. The contributors see Muldoon from many different angles -- biographical, formal, literary-historical, generic -- but also direct attention to complex moments of creativity in which an extraordinary amount of originality is concentrated, and on the clarity of which a lot depends. In their different ways, all of the essays return to the question of what a poem can 'tell' us, whether about its author, about itself, or about the world in which it comes into being. The contributors, even in the degree to which they bring to light areas of disagreement about Muldoon's strengths and weaknesses, continue a conversation about what poems (and poets) can tell us which Paul Muldoon's work has made both compelling and fruitful. ** European Poetry English; Irish; Scottish; Welsh Literary Criticism Title Page 4 Contents 6 Acknowledgements 7 Notes on Contributors 8 Introduction 10 ‘Thirteen or Fourteen’: Paul Muldoon’s Poetics of Adolescence 15 Never Quite Showing his Hand: Robert Frost and Paul Muldoon 35 For Father Read Mother: Muldoon’s Antecedents 54 Pax Hibernica/Pax Ameri
