The Green Fool

Informationen zum Autor Patrick Kavanagh Klappentext One of the major figures in the modern Irish poetic canon, Patrick Kavanagh (1904-67) was a post-colonial poet who released Anglo-Irish verse from its prolonged obsession with history, ethnicity and national politics. His poetry, written in an uninhibited vernacular style, focused on the 'common and banal' aspects of contemporary life. Zusammenfassung Presents an account of the author's Irish rural upbringing that describes a patriarchal society surviving on the edge of poverty, sustained by the land and an insatiable love of gossip. This title includes tales of schoolboy skirmishes, blackberrying and night-time salmon-poaching.
