Sobre este artículo
London: Faber and Faber Ltd,, 1975. First edition, first impression. One of the poet's most controversial and passionate works, this collection reflects on a particularly violent period of the Troubles through the lens of myth. Despite the contentious subject, "it's the brilliant reconciliation of art with politics that sets North apart from the rest of Heaney's oeuvre and gives it a kind of dark majesty" (McCrum). Octavo. Original blue cloth lettered in gilt on spine. With dust jacket. Small bump to head of spine, cloth bright, front endpapers browned; jacket spine panel and edges a little sunned, small nick to head of rear flap, unclipped: a near-fine copy in like jacket. Brandes & Durkan A12a. Robert McCrum, "The 100 best nonfiction books: No 11 - North by Seamus Heaney", The Guardian, 11 April 2016, accessible online.
