Matthew Campbell

Irish Poetry under the Union, 1801-1924 (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book retells the story of Irish poetry written in English between the union of Britain and Ireland in 1801 and the early years of the Irish Free State. Through careful poetic and historical analysis, Matthew Campbell offers ways to read that poetry as ruptured, musical, translated and new. The book starts with the Romantic songs and parodies of nationalist and unionist writers - Moore, Mahony, Ferguson and Mangan - in times of defeat, resurgence and famine. It continues through a discussion of English Victorian poets such as Tennyson, Arnold and Hopkins, who wrote Irish poems as the British Empire unraveled. Campbell's treatment ends with Yeats, seeking a new poetry emerging from under union in times of violence and civil war. The book offers both a literary history of nineteenth-century Irish poetry and a way of reading it for scholars of Irish studies as well as Romantic and Victorian literature.

Autorenporträt

Matthew Campbell has been working in the field of botany and agriculture for 20 years. Since he was a child he loved to spend his days in his grandfather's greenhouse and once he grew up he decided to dedicate his life completely to the study of plants. Shortly after graduating, he discovered that he was suffering from rheumatoid arthritis and, while searching for a cure, he became aware of the extraordinary beneficial effects that THC and CBD had on his body. His knowledge of cannabis and its properties led him to manage vast crops of this plant for medicinal purposes (and recently also for recreational ones) in Oregon, an activity to which he still dedicates most of his time.
