"The first part is made up of pieces written for or delivered upon various occasions. The second part ... consists of the T.S. Eliot Memorial Lectures, delivered in October 1986 at Eliot College, in the University of Kent."--P. ix.

"In this volume of critical essays, Seamus Heaney scrutinizes the poetry of many masterful poets. Heaney's gifts as a wise and genial reader are exercised with characteristic exactness, and we are reminded, above all, of the essentially gratifying nature of poetry itself. Seamus Heaney (1939– 2013) was an Irish poet and playwright, and the recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature."--Provided by publisher.

Seamus Heaney was the recipient of the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature.
