• W119876829 abstract "I It has been alluded often enough that Seamus Heaney's reputation was made, at least United States, when Robert Lowell hailed him as the best Irish poet since But Lowell's endorsement invites comparison that Heaney has repeatedly questioned. He refuses allow Lowell's comment appear jacket of any of his books and has tried resist or dodge comparison as often as American critics make it (and it frequently comes up, even popular press such as Vanity Fair or Newsweek). Regardless, much of his critical and popular reception depends large measure an understanding of poet as continuing Yeats's legacy as bard of Irish Soul (Kroll 67), however much Heaney may view it as dangerous because it creates sort of legendary target (69). It is dangerous praise for reasons that have do way Yeats has become mythologized figure Irish culture, figure whose status is so peculiar and central, as Craig Raine points out, that any of Heaney this basis would be a little like comparing an English poet Shakespeare (247). Part of mythology associated Yeats concerns his seeming embodiment of authentic Irish experience, regardless of how much his life and poetry may have complicated any claim or representation of that kind. The desire locate this authentic cultural experience or identity mythic figure like Yeats, or mythic past (as Yeats himself does Celtic Twilight), reflects divided nature of Ireland's own past and its political unrest this century and before. It is desire that gives rise similar expectations about Heaney, insofar as his poetry explores that political past and seemingly looks for and hopes provide answers that might lead some articulation of an undivided Irish identity. Ireland's colonial history, its Troubles related that history North, and complicated by sectarian division, give certain sense of political urgency question of Irish identity. On more general level, national or cultural identity crisis is symptomatic of any country whose past is marked by colonialism, as different critics have suggested. David Lloyd points out that Nationalism, and concomitant concern racial and cultural identity, are . . . political phenomena, oriented towards production of sense of popular unity and conceived within generally oppositional framework (92). The popularity of Heaney's verse on both sides of Atlantic (87), his position as bearer of tradition, after Yeats, may be understood coincide with tendency regard his work as articulating important intuitions of Irish identity, and as uttering and reclaiming that identity beyond divisive label of 'Anglo-Irishness' (87). The impetus for Heaney somehow utter or reclaim an undivided cultural identity gives rise problem of accountability audience, both Irish and American. What obligation does poet have address politics his poetry? It is concern which leads another question that he seems ask self-reflexively much of his verse, about poetic authority, or how far his own voice might go towards uttering that identity and what might authorize such utterance first place. Heaney interestingly enough attempts answer this reference Yeats. At its greatest moments, poetry its governing power would attempt, in Yeats's phrase, hold single thought reality and justice (The Government 108). But Heaney's poetry it is often precarious or even impossible opposition balance, and one that his critics seem sometimes eager tip one way or other. Heaney seems aware of audience and expectation that he make some overt political commentary, hope of giving voice unified cultural identity. But it is an awareness that creates tension his poetry, one that Robert Pinsky characterizes as need to feel utterly free, yet answerable (423) audience. …" @default.
