Abstract

Abstract: This essay-review analyzes Kieran Quinlan's 2020 study, Seamus Heaney and the End of Catholic Ireland (Catholic University Press of America), noting its tendency to conflate Catholicism north and south of the border between Ireland and Northern Ireland and its bias against recovering Christian images, ideas, and values in Heaney's poetry. Heaney's Northern Irish Catholicism became a persistent element in his poetry and continued to influence it until his death in 2013.
