{"product_id":"9780674072220","title":"An Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry","description":"Never before has there been a single-volume anthology of modern Irish poetry so significant and groundbreaking as \u003ci\u003eAn Anthology of Modern Irish Poetry\u003c\/i\u003e. Collected here is a comprehensive representation of Irish poetic achievement in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from poets such as Austin Clarke and Samuel Beckett who were writing while Yeats and Joyce were still living; to those who came of age in the turbulent ’60s as sectarian violence escalated, including Seamus Heaney and Michael Longley; to a new generation of Irish writers, represented by such diverse, interesting voices as David Wheatley (born 1970) and Sinéad Morrissey (born 1972).\u003cbr\u003eScholar and editor \u003cb\u003eWes Davis\u003c\/b\u003e has chosen work by more than fifty leading modern and contemporary Irish poets. Each poet is represented by a generous number of poems (there are nearly 800 poems in the anthology). The editor’s selection includes work by world-renowned poets, including a couple of Nobel Prize winners, as well as work by poets whose careers may be less well known to the general public; by poets writing in English; and by several working in the Irish language (Gaelic selections appear in translation). Accompanying the selections are a general introduction that provides a historical overview, informative short essays on each poet, and helpful notes—all prepared by the editor.","brand":"Harvard","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47009818280176,"sku":"9780674072220","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780674072220_p0.jpg?v=1764099834","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780674072220","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
