Focusing on the influence of the First World War, this book examines the poetry of notable figures like W. B. Yeats and contemporary Northern Irish poets such as Seamus Heaney. It situates their works within the broader context of Irish culture and politics from 1914 to 1945, highlighting key historical events like the Home Rule crisis and the Easter Rising. The exploration of how these events shaped memory and political discourse in Northern Ireland adds depth to the understanding of their literary contributions.
