Rövid leírás:
This book explores the historical background to Irish participation in the Great War, and the ways in which issues raised in 1914-18 still reverberate in contemporary Northern Ireland. The complications of Irish politics are such that Irish memory of the Great War has often been repressed. Nevertheless, Irish writers throughout the century have been preoccupied with the events and images of the Great War. The work of the Irish poets discussed here - from W. B. Yeats and Ireland's soldier-poets through to Seamus Heaney and contemporary Northern Irish writing - challenges reductive versions of history, and of the literary canon, in relation to Ireland and the First World War.

The Great War in Irish Poetry explores the impact of the First World War on the work of W.B. Yeats, Robert Graves, and Louis MacNeice in the period 1914-45, and on three contemporary Northern Irish poets, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney, and Michael Longley. Its concern is to place their work, and memory of the Great War, in the context of Irish culture and politics in the twentieth century. The historical background to Irish involvement in the Great War is explained, as are the ways in which some of the events of 1912-1920 -- the Home Rule crisis, the loss of the Titanic, the Battle of the Somme, the Easter Rising -- still reverberate in the politics of remembrance in Northern Ireland.
While the Great War is perceived as central to English culture, and its literature holds a privileged position in the English literary canon, the centrality of the Great War to Irish writing has seldom been acknowledged. This book is concerned with the extent to which recognition of the importance of the Great War in Irish writing has become a casualty of competing versions of the literary canon. It shows that, despite complications in Irish domestic politics which led to the repression of 'official memory' of the Great War in Ireland, Irish poets, particularly those writing in the 'troubled' Northern Ireland of the last thirty years, have been drawn throughout the century to the events and images of 1914-18.
In its provocative arguments about the relationship between Irish memory and the First World War, and it its penetrating readings of individual authors, Brearton's book is welcome, timely, and necessary
