Abstract:
The contexts of Seamus Heaney's writing have been routinely noted but their critical interrogation has, to date, been limited. This thesis resituates Heaney's work to reassert the significance of his writing in its varied times and places. Its aim is to revive the web of connections within which Heaney's work was written, published, and received, and this accounts for the "society" of the title. While the idea of society as entity remains important, the word is employed primarily as a capacious guiding principle. Society's adjective, social, is always connected: to be "social" in any sense is

This thesis is divided into three parts – Word, Body and Transubstantiation. Collectively these are the central motifs of Catholicism’s Eucharist. According to Scripture, Christ is the word made flesh. The Eucharist recalls his words and actions at the Last Supper when he shares bread and wine with his disciples and tells them that they are his body and blood. In the Catholic faith partaking of wine and bread during the communion of mass is believed to be a partaking of the real presence of Christ. By consuming the body (bread) and blood (wine) of Christ, the participating community symbolise

Abstract:
Seamus Heaney's poetry is characterized by a friction between the poet's ideas and his formal medium. Few studies, however, have interrogated the extent to which much of the meaning of Heaney's poetry resides in the negotiation between form and content. This thesis examines Heaney's preoccupation with traditional metre and verse form, hoping to demonstrate the necessity of formal analysis as a way of accessing meaning in Heaney's poetry. 2 One function of my thesis is to discover what can be gained from an explication of the formal features of Heaney's poetry. However, I have not adopted a rig

Abstract:
This is a reading of two Anglophone poets, Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes. The analysis is grounded in 'ecocriticism'. More than just critical analysis, ecocriticism seeks to draw out the relationship between poets and their environments. On a more general basis, ecocriticism addresses the relationship between nature and culture in a wider sense. This thesis follows both these strains. It brings out ideas about nature-human relations expressed in Hughes's and Heaney's poems. It also uses those same poems to make visible ways in which a certain set of ecocritical theories illuminate ideas, positi

Na pesquisa de Mestrado intitulada \"Seamus Heaney: Polifonia (da) Poética do Exílio\" concluímos que o poeta desestabiliza a noção de subjetividade à medida que se afasta de seu lugar de origem. Nesse sentido, encontramos o eu lírico em uma peregrinação católica em que reconstrói, simbolicamente, as fragmentações e divisões de sua comunidade nativa, uma vez que ele próprio cria diálogos imaginários entre seu passado, presente e futuro. Rompendo com as noções lineares de espaço e tempo, Heaney compõe uma poética do exílio como fruto de uma consciência polifônica, em que a atividade poética dep

Abstract:
In Ireland's divided society in which everything is political except solutions, the evaluation and redefinition of the governing metaphors of political and cultural identity is a matter of public concern. For nationalist Ireland, the traditional centrality of the poetic imagination to the development of the legitimating tropes of national identity endows representative status upon all subsequent poetry which treats of these themes. The heated public and critical debate about the poetry of Seamus Heaney derives from the recognition that as nations are "imagined communities", so the form and con

Strate après strate Heaney creuse le passé et décode les indices qui font écho avec le présent.

My contention is that James Joyce's novels demonstrate an explicit, underexplored concern with signature and the different imaginary investments (erotic, legal, preservative) that accompany its presence in the world.

This thesis deals with what it means to be a ‘public’ poet in national and transnational contexts. Because Seamus Heaney’s ‘Irishness’ has shaped the critical response to his work, what has been effaced is detailed critical attention to the interplay between the national and transnational dimensions of his poetry. What is most evident in his later work is a type of border-crossing transcultural solidarity, and an openness to alternate views and other cultures becomes increasingly important.

Abstract:
As an Irish farm boy turned educated poet, Seamus Heaney navigates a liminal space between the world of agriculture and the world of letters. Many of his poems draw upon his rural childhood experiences, infusing them with firsthand accounts of life on an Irish farm. As a result, most scholars label Heaney's poetry as antipastoral, noting its failure to provide the idyllic look at the countryside that is characteristic of traditional pastorals. However, reconsiderations of the pastoral mode reveal a unique aspect to Heaney's poems that is derived from his liminal existence as both a rural Irish

It is hoped that this study goes some way towards remedying these deficiencies.

Curiously, with a broad spectrum of classical works at his disposal, the poet chooses a particular moment in Virgil's Aeneid as an image for translation.
