Seamus Heaney is probably the most renowned British poet of the past fifty years. His writing is moving, profound and linguistically extraordinary. This course will explore his first four collections of poetry, from ‘Death of a Naturalist’ to ‘North’. We will discuss individual poems and their context as well as looking at common themes and ideas.
(Students will need a copy of Heaney’s Selected Poems (any version will do))
