Abstract
The contention of this essay is, first, that Montague’s globalism is of an arguably superficial kind, in that while he may be an international modernist in poetic technique, he is more of a traditionalist in his socio-political attitudes; and, second, that Montague’s regionalism is of a notably skewed and partial kind, in that he tends to see his famously divided province in terms of one community only. While demonstrating an openness to cosmopolitan influences, what Montague sought was not a continual process of ‘making it new’ but a modernisation of Irish tradition within a nationalist framework.
