Reviews for Louis MacNeice and the Irish Poetry of his Time (Oxford English Monographs)
Tom Walker's study is a much-needed and meticulously referenced work on this vital poet, playwright, and broadcaster. It sets MacNeice's work productively in dialogue with both the great W.B. Yeats and lesser-known poets, and is essential for anyone captivated by this most incorrigibly plural of writers.
