Sinossi
'I would have a poet able bodied, fond of talking, a reader of the newspapers, capable of pity and laughter, informed in economics, appreciative of women, involved in personal relationships, actively interested in politics, susceptible to physical impressions.' Louis MacNeice's prescription is designed to look ordinary, rather than esoteric, but very little poetry can claim to meet these specifications, stringent in their very wideness. MacNeice's work matches the world he famously described as 'incorrigibly plural.' Michael Longley, himself a distinguished Ulster poet, has written an introductory essay of meticulous advocacy. His wife, the critic Edna Longley, has supplied the apparatus for students and the general reader.

L'autore
Louis MacNeice was born in Belfast in 1907, the son of a Church of Ireland rector, later a bishop. He was educated in England at Sherborne, Marlborough and Merton College, Oxford. His first book of poems, Blind Fireworks, appeared in 1929, and he subsequently worked as a translator, literary critic, playwright, autobiographer, BBC producer and feature writer. The Burning Perch, his last volume of poems, appeared shortly before his death in 1963.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. In the decades since his death in 1963, Louis MacNeice's reputation as a poet - and amongst poets - has grown steadily, and there are now several generations of readers in Great Britain and beyond for whom he is one of the essential poets of the twentieth century. To readers and critics alike, the nature of MacNeice's poetic work as a whole is a matter of importance, and the new Collected Poems, entirely re-edited by Peter McDonald, prints the poetry in groupings corresponding closely to the individual volumes published by Faber between 1935 and 1963.The texts of the poems are based on a comparison of all printed versions, as revised in the light of the poet's later thoughts. This has resulted in a large number of changes, presenting MacNeice's poetry more accurately, as well as more fully, than all previous collections. The new Collected Poems includes, as appendices, The Last Ditch - the short book of poems which MacNeice published with the Cuala Press in 1940 - and The Revenant, a cycle of songs written for MacNeice's wife, the singer Hedli Anderson. This new edition includes a selection of uncollected early poems and juvenilia, notably from Blind Fireworks, MacNeice's first published book of verse. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Codice articolo 9780571233816
