◎ Introduction

"Selected Works of Seamus Heaney over the Past Thirty Years" includes the best articles from the published literary collections of Nobel Prize winner Seamus Heaney, "Thinking with Concentration", "The Jurisdiction of the Tongue", "The Correction of Poetry" and "The Place of Writing", as well as classic works that have never been officially published before, including some formal literary speeches, recollections of Irish rural life and highly inspiring literary reviews. It is a milestone work in literary history.

As one of the most important contemporary Irish poets and a famous poetics expert, Heaney has made a very in-depth and thorough analysis of many outstanding contemporary European and American poets, including Yeats, Burns, Wordsworth, Philip Larkin, Elizabeth Bishop, Auden, Milosz, Brodsky, etc.

Whether autobiographical, thematic, or critical, Heaney describes the essays as "collected here in search of answers to these central and recurring questions: How should a poet properly live and write? What is his relationship to his own voice, his place, his literary heritage, and his contemporary world?"
