Seamus Heaney is a unique phenomenon in contemporary
literature, as a poet whose individual volumes such as his Beowulf
translation, and individual volumes of poems such as Electric Light
and District and Circle have been high in the bestseller lists for
decades. Since winning the Nobel Prize for Literature, he has come
to be considered one of the most important English language poets
in the world. This Companion gives an up-to-date overview of his
career thus far, and of his reception in Ireland, England and
around the world. Its distinguished contributors offer detailed
readings of all his major publications, in poetry, prose and
translation. The essays further explore the central themes of his
poetry, his relations with other writers, and his prose writing.
Designed for students, this volume will also have much to interest
and inform the general reader and admirer of Heaney''s unique poetic
voice.
