( )I loved Heaney's translation of "Beowulf", so why is this such a disappointment? Because there's nothing to it for the person who (a) isn't Irish, or (b) isn't Heaney. It's all so personal to him, that there's no pleasure in reading it, even in his control of the language. Yet it's an A level text; go figure. Includes index. From Death of a naturalist (1966) -- From Door into the dark (1969) -- From Wintering out (1972) -- From Stations (1975) -- From North (1975) -- From Field work (1979) -- From Sweeney astray (1983) -- From Station Island (1984) -- From The haw lantern (1987). no reviews | add a review
