Title
Like Pilgrims To This Moment: Myth, History and Politics in the Early Writing of Seamus Heaney and Leonard Cohen
Abstract
Analyzes both poets' first four books of poetry and how each addresses the politics of his historical time and place as a minority figure: Seamus Heaney (1939-2013), an Irish Catholic in Northern Ireland during the Troubles of the late 1960s and 1970s; and Leonard Cohen (1934-2016), an Anglophone Jew in Montreal during the Quiet Revolution of the late 1950s and 1960s.
