Title: The Poetry of Seamus Heaney from 1966-1979
Authors: West, Frank
Advisor: Coldwell, Joan
Department: English
Keywords: English Language and Literature;English Language and Literature
Publication Date: Sep-1981
Abstract: <p>In this thesis I attempt to follow the development of Seamus Heaney's poetry from Death of a Naturalist (1966) to Field Work (1979). Particular attention is given to Heaney's search for a language and a mythology adequate to the Ulster experience in general and his own in particular, and the kind of poetry that can embody it. Emphasis is also placed on Heaney's preoccupation with the role of the poet undertaking such an enterprise.</p>
