\u003cP\u003eNobel Laureate Seamus Heaney, author of nine collections of poetry and three volumes of influential essays, is regarded by many as the greatest Irish poet since Yeats. \u003c/P\u003e\u003cP\u003e\u003cI\u003ePassage to the Center\u003c/I\u003e is the most comprehensive critical treatment to date on Heaney's poetry and the first to study Heaney's body of work up to \u003cI\u003eSeeing Things\u003c/I\u003e and \u003cI\u003eThe Spirit Level\u003c/I\u003e. It is also the first to examine the poems from the perspective of religion, one of Heaney's guiding preoccupations. \u003c/P\u003e\u003cP\u003eAccording to Tobin, the growth of Heaney's poetry may be charted through the recurrent figure of \"the center,\" a key image in the relationship that evolved over time between the poet and his inherited place, an evolution that involved the continual re-evaluation and re-vision of imaginative boundaries. In a way that previous studies have not, Tobin's work examines Heaney's poetry in the context of modernist and postmodernist concerns about the desacralizing of civilization and provides a challenging engagement with the work of a living master.\u003c/P\u003e |
