More about the book

Exploring the intersection of Irish literature and nature, this work delves into the pastoral tradition from the eighth century to contemporary voices like Seamus Heaney and Eavan Boland. It highlights how Irish pastoral reflects a deep nostalgia intertwined with the impact of British colonialism. Beginning with an overview of nature's representation before 1600, the book further investigates the clash between Irish and English pastoral forms during Spenser's era, offering a nuanced analysis of this rich literary heritage.
