Seamus Heaney and the End of Catholic Ireland

"Traces the similarities between religious developments in Ireland during the twentieth century and the evolution of Seamus Heaney's poetry and of his understanding of his religious self"--

Summary

Starts from Heaney’s awareness in the new millennium of "something far more important in my mental formation than cultural nationalism or the British presence or any of that stuff - namely, my early religious education." The book then examines the full trajectory of Heaney's religious beliefs as represented in his poetry, prose, and interviews.
