Books by Neil Corcoran

Part of the "Longman Literature in English" series which aims to provide students of literature with a critical introduction to the major genres in their historical and cultural context. This text examines English poetry since 1940.

The new edition, which like the original has had the advantage of Seamus Heaney's own cooperation and unstinted access to the poet's papers, follows the same pattern, adding a chapter apiece on the major collections of poems published since 1986, as well as separate discussions of Heaney's work as a translator and essayist.
