Book Description

Publication Date: August 9, 1990

In addition to writing excellent verse, the Irish poet Louis MacNeice (1907-1963) also wrote lively prose and many pioneering plays for the BBC. This annotated collection includes fifty-one articles of previously neglected topical prose from 1929 to 1963, numerous articles and reviews, several chapters of early books long out of print, and a handful of previously unpublished autobiographical and travel documents on the Blitz, his favorite sport rugby, and philosophy. Heuser also includes an introduction, notes, and a full corrected bibliography of MacNeice's short prose.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"No poet in English this century has been so adept at spotting the marvellous in the mundane, and if you know the poetry you'll want the prose too."--The Guardian
