2.[no image]The Inferno of Dante: A New Verse Translation by Robert Pinsky (FSG Audio)
from Penguin Audio

Customer Review:
Perhaps you are reading these reviews because, let us be honest, you are a bit intimidated to read a book of this nature. Written over seven centuries ago, many, perhaps even most, of the references are today obscure. Yes, the scholars can read Dante, but what of you, who just wants something... more info

3.Beowulf: An Illustrated EditionBeowulf: An Illustrated Edition
from W. W. Norton
Price: $14.97

Customer Review:
Bought this for a gift; after cursory flip-through, seems fantastic. Prose looks clean and tight, and visuals I did look at were phenomenal- might add to even this narrative, which was certainly a classic even before this re-working. Seems to have potential as great nexus; will probably lead to my... more info

4.Opened Ground: Selected Poems, 1966-1996Opened Ground: Selected Poems, 1966-1996
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $11.56

Customer Review:
Dazzling and intense works. Good overview of his output. Although this is not the Collected Poetry of Heaney it does contain almost all his best poems up to 1996, as well as his Nobel Prize acceptance lecture (a gem) and an excerpt from his play Cure a Troy. Essential poetry volume.

5.Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)Beowulf: A Verse Translation (Norton Critical Editions)
from W. W. Norton
Price: $11.81

Customer Review:
I had already bought Heaney's "A New Verse Translation" before I needed to buy this edition for a university class. That said, if you're only looking for a translation of the poem with no frills, buy the "New Verse Translation" because it's got the text in parallel with the original Anglo-Saxon. But... more info

6.The Burial at Thebes: A Version of Sophocles AntigoneThe Burial at Thebes: A Version of Sophocles' Antigone
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $9.60

Customer Review:
After teaching years of sophomore English, I have finally found a version of Antigone that even 15 and 16-year-olds can understand and appreciate. Still loads of figurative language to teach and what an author to introduce your students to alongside Sophocles!

Customer Review:
"The Cure at Troy," translated by Seamus Heaney offers a delightful translation of Sophocles' "Philoctetes." With a compelling tale from anchient times layed out before him, Heaney applies colloquial speach diction to the play. This accessability offers the audience a window into the basic moral... more info

8.Death of a NaturalistDeath of a Naturalist
from Faber & Faber

Customer Review:
Seamus Heaney's first collection of poems is an accessible and understated experiment in lyrical description. It was written in 1966 and what first strikes the contemporary is an adherence to metrical and rhyming (usually off-rhyming) patterns now considered undesirably strict. Much of the time... more info

9.Seeing ThingsSeeing Things
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:
Perhaps this book represents Heaney's finest poetry since 'Field Work.' It contains the magnificent sequence 'Squarings,' and a continuation of his Glanmore sonnets. The craftsmanship impeccable, the voice down-to-earth.

We remember especially his sonnet on Lent in which the poet deals with 'A... more info

10.District and Circle: PoemsDistrict and Circle: Poems
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $11.05

Customer Review:
The title poem alone is worth the admission price. A great work, "Tollund Man" and other poems harken back to early Heaney--an elder echo to North, Wintering Out and Door Into the Dark.
