Derek Mahon and Eavan Boland: Marginal Perspectives -- 6. A Classical ‘Revival’? -- Further Reading.This book provides the first overview of classical presences in Anglophone Irish poetry after 1960. Featuring detailed studies of Seamus Heaney, Michael Longley, Derek Mahon, and Eavan Boland, including close readings of key poems, it highlights the evolution of Irish poetic engagements with Greece and Rome in the last sixty years. It outlines the contours of a ‘movement’ which has transformed Irish poetry and accompanied its transition from a postcolonial to a transnational model, from sporadic borrowings of images and myths in the poets’ early attempts to define their own voices, to the multiplication of classical adaptations since the late 1980s -- at first at a time of personal and political crises, notably in Northern Ireland, and more recently, as manifestations of the poets’ engagements with European and other foreign literatures.The New AntiquityBritish literatureLiterature, Modern—20th centuryLiterature, Modern—21st centuryClassical literaturePoetryBritish and Irish Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/833000Twentieth-Century Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/822000Contemporary Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/815000Classical and Antique Literaturehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/816000Poetry and Poeticshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/824000British literature.Literature, Modern—20th century.Literature, Modern—21st century.Classical literature.Poetry.British and Irish Literature.Twentieth-Century Literature.Contemporary Literature.Classical and Antique Literature.Poetry and Poetics.809.41Impens Florenceauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut897756BOOK9910300002703321Classical Presences in Irish Poetry after 19602005818UNINA
