The Art of Seamus Heaney

Seamus Heaney is the foremost Irish poet since Yeats and one of the most popular poets writing in English today. The importance of his poetry and criticism to contemporary literature is indisputable, his influence growing with each new work.
This third edition of The Art of Seamus Heaney is the latest in an ongoing critical response to Heaney's work. It includes new essays by leading critics on Heaney's most recent book, and a set of drafts of his poem 'North', allowing the reader to see how that poem developed through several stages.
