sa_O33 Beowulf - Seamus Heaney: ... have been many translations of this epic poem written by an unknown Anglo-Saxon skald. I won t go into the plot here, as it s covered extensively in the other reviews. What I will cover, however, is Seamus Heaney s magnificent translation, which I would imagine has bettered every single previous translation. Coming as he does from a background of storytelling, much in the same way as the original audience would...

MI9to5 North - Seamus Heaney
... is a collection written by Irish poet Seamus Heaney and was first published in 1975. Seamus Heaney as I have just mentioned is an Irish poet. He was born in Northern Ireland in 1939 but currently lives in Dublin. It is said that he moved to Dublin due to persecution in Northern Ireland because of the political side to his poetry but this has never truly been confirmed or denied.

It was preceded by Wintering Out in 1972 and followed by Field Work in 1979. The collection i...

Death of a Naturalist focuses on Heaney s experience of collecting and watching frogspawn as a child, and his reaction whe...

repairmanjack Seamus Heaney in general
... sampling his work in detail, I found myself dismissing Seamus Heaney as “one of the Irish poets“. I expected him to be political, whilst I admit to being largely ignorant of the man and his life. Think of Ireland and you think of lush green country fields or blood-red city streets - what ripe fair for an angry man to work his pen upon. Who would write of the country when they could write of the history and violence of the country? I was very wrong. The first thing that has occurred to me, especially with some of his earlier work, is that Heaney often seems to be apologising to me, the reader, as if he believes there is something intrinsically impure ...
