Politics and the Rhetoric of Poetry: Perspectives on Modern Anglo-Irish PoetryTjebbe A. Westendorp, Jane Mallinson Rodopi, 1995 - 216 עמודים The rich and varied nature of twentieth-century Anglo-Irish and Irish poetry is reflected in the essays presented in Politics and the Rhetoric of Poetry: Perspectives on Modern Anglo-Irish Poetry.The linguistic and theoretical observations formulated in close readings of apparently non-political texts disclose implied political positions and suggest to what extent rhetoric and the nature of language are at the root of such questions as how should we read contemporary poetry. How can poems play a part in the resolution of the political and historic conflict? Nuala Ní Dhomhnaill's versions of The Táin,Brendan Kennelly's Cromwell, Paul Muldoon's Madocand Ciaran Carson's Belfast Confettiare analysed in detail, as is the relationship between rhetoric and politics in Seamus Heaney and Derek Mahon. Earlier twentieth-century poets such as Thomas Kinsella, John Hewitt, Patrick Kavanagh, John Montague, Louis MacNeice and Padraic Colum are also examined. The contingent nature of language is recognized by many of these poets, and the seventeen essays bring out the political charge hidden in the poetry. This includes the deliberate choice of the poetic form, the internal dialogue or the complexity of voices in the poem and a particular preoccupation with endings. These essays demonstrate Yeats's contention that Deliberation can be so intensified that it becomes synonymous with inspiration. |

עמוד 97 - There are in our existence spots of time, That with distinct pre-eminence retain A renovating virtue, whence, depressed By false opinion and contentious thought, Or aught of heavier or more deadly weight, In trivial occupations, and the round Of ordinary intercourse, our minds Are nourished and invisibly repaired...

עמוד 85 - As in a long suppressed dream, some stuttering garbled ordeal of my own) An Irish child weeps at school repeating its English. After each mistake The master gouges another mark on the tally stick hung about its neck Like a bell on a cow, a hobble on a straying goat.
