Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Antoinette Quinn's acclaimed biography of Patrick Kavanagh, the most important Irish poet between the death of W.B. Yeats and the rise of Seamus Heaney, tells the triumphant story of his journey from homespun balladry through early journal and poetry publications to his eventual coronation as one of the most influential figures in Irish poetry. Kavanagh (1904–1967) was born in County Monaghan, the son of a cobbler-cum-small farmer. He left school at thirteen to work the land but continued to educate himself, reading and writing poetry in his spare time. In 1929 he began contributing verses to the Irish Statesman and was soon publishing in Irish and English journals. His first collection, Ploughman and Other Poems, appeared in 1936 and was followed by an autobiography, The Green Fool, in 1938. In 1939 he moved to Dublin where he spent the rest of his life as a freelance writer and as part of the social and literary scene, keeping company with a gifted generation of writers, among them Flann O'Brien and Brendan Behan. He gained recognition as an important literary voice with his long poem 'The Great Hunger' in 1942. Further collections and the novel Tarry Flynn appeared in the following decades to growing critical acclaim. Published to widespread praise, Patrick Kavanagh, A Biography traces Kavanagh's publishing history as well as revealing what he was writing in the long interval between his books. This engaging, well-researched account of his daily professional life as a writer, his revisions and redraftings, his negotiations with publishers and editors, dispels the view that he was an untutored, gormless genius visited by an occasional flash of inspiration. Patrick Kavanagh, A Biography is the definitive account of Patrick Kavanagh's life and work and should be the standard for years to come.

Book excerpt: Patrick Kavanagh was above all a poet, but for most of his writing life he was also a prolific producer of critical and autobiographical prose. Work for newspapers and magazines was often his main source of income, and it provided him with a necessary outlet for his views on the writers of his time, and past times, on the spiritual function of poetry, and on his own background and experiences as an isolated genius, impoverished, sometimes ostracized and surrounded, as he saw it, by mediocrity. The prose writings thus stand alongside the poems as a vital guide to the thought of Kavanagh and tell us things about him that the poems do not tell.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Patrick Kavanagh has for long represented an alternative version of Irish poetry to the high-falutin' melodrama and rhetoric of W. B. Yeats. This collection of newly commissioned essays, by a range of established and younger scholars, re-examines his reputation in the light of recent thinking about Irish literature and the Ireland of his day in addition to authoritative, historically situated accounts of the whole body of his work, in prose and verse, individual studies consider his place in the pastoral tradition. his stylistic experimentation and debt to both popular and high intellectual traditions, his vision of rural and urban Ireland in the wake of independence, his reactions to contemporary political and social developments, and his continuing significance for present-day writers and readers." "This volume offers a definitive account for the general reader as well as the student of Irish literature and history of a writer whose reputation has continued to grow in the half century since his death. It will prove indispensable for anyone wishing to understand, not only the work of this uniquely original writer, but the Ireland in which he grew up and which his writing helped to define."--BOOK JACKET.
