Austin Clarke
This anthology covers the major aspects of Irish poetry since Yeats as seen in the works of seven 20th-century poets: Austin Clarke (1896-1974); Patrick Kavanagh (1904-1967); Denis Devlin (1908-1959); Richard Murphy (b.1927); Thomas Kinsella (b.1928); and Seamus Heaney (b.1939). In his introduction, Dr Harmon explores Yeats's legacy - a primary factor in the development of all Irish poets - and the influence of modernism on Irish poetry in general and on these seven poets in particular. By including for each poet a collection of poems, this book provides a sense of each poet's achievement.
