An accessible and wide-ranging study which sets Seamus Heaney s work within its poetic, political and social contexts. In this third edition of his popular book on Heaney, Andrew Murphy charts the trajectory of Heaney s career as a poet and places his work within its various contexts. Seamus Heaney is one of the foremost poets of his generation and his work is highly prized by scholars and general readers alike. It is a measure of his success as a writer, and of the high-esteem in which he is held, that he has been appointed to professorships at both Harvard and Oxford and that he was, in 1995 awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature.
