This review is from: Strange Country: Modernity and Nationhood in Irish Writing since 1790 (Clarendon Lectures in English Literature, 1995) (Hardcover)
A densely written work, brimming with an almost Jesuit obsession with intellectual precision. It certainly illuminates aspects of the literature it refers to, but it tends to favour its own theoretical matrix (as does so much contemporary theory). Worth the effort to read, but one can't help feeling that Heaney says as much in more accessible terms.
