THE REDRESS OF POETRY
Book ID/图书代码： 04560019C00081
English Summary/英文概要： Seamus Heaney defines the title of this work of criticism as follows: "To redress poetry is to know and celebrate it for its forcibleness as itself . . . not only as a matter of profferd argument and edifying content but as a matter of angelic potential, a motion of the soul." Throughout this collection, Heaney’s insight and eloquence are themselves of a poetic order.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这部诗论汇集了希尼任职牛津诗歌教授期间（1989-1994）的讲座，他这样描述该书题目：“校正诗歌意味着知晓并赞颂诗歌自身的力量……不仅把诗歌当作提供论点、启迪人心的东西，而且视之为天使的潜质和灵魂的运动。”他的十场讲座论及“诗歌的愉悦与惊喜，它的公正和‘在场’，时而不可预见时而不可或缺，势不可当且自我导向，勇往直前地发挥出全部潜能。”
希尼探索的诗人诗作范围广泛，从克里斯托弗·马洛到约翰·克莱尔再到奥斯卡·王尔德，从十八世纪爱尔兰诗人布赖恩·梅里曼到二十世纪美国诗人伊丽莎白·毕肖普。尤其在最后一场犀利深刻的讲座“写作的边界”中，他指出诗歌是对全球危机和个人危机的回应——回应北爱问题，回应现代世界种种令人绝望的挑战。
无论聚焦于所论作品的特定时刻，还是致力于推进他的总体主题——诗歌拥有帮助我们重获精神平衡的特殊能力——希尼的洞见和雄辩本身就体现一种诗歌秩序。(DB)
Awards/获奖情况："Nobel laureate Heaney is a pastoralist with a strong and critical sense of history. His rich and earthy poems are about the life of the land of northern Ireland as well as the evolution of the heavily mythologized Irish identity. Heaney’s sonorous lyricism stems from his love of the cycles of country life, the mystery of the sea, the satisfying rhythm of hard, physical work. But Heaney loves poetry and poetics as well as nature and expresses this passion in his forceful if demanding literary essays. This is his third book of criticism, and it contains 10 lectures Heaney delivered as professor of poetry at Oxford. In the title essay, Heaney explains how poetry balances the ’scales of reality towards some transcendent equilibrium.’ After considering all the burdens contemporary poets carry, from the long tradition of the form itself to pressing political perspectives, Heaney still insists that ’poetry cannot afford to lose its fundamentally self-delighting inventiveness.’ This viewpoint underlies his shrewd essays on George Herbert, Christopher Marlowe, the Irish poet Brian Merriman, Dylan Thomas, Philip Larkin, and Elizabeth Bishop." --Booklist
