{"product_id":"paul-muldoon-to-ireland-i-2001-paperback","title":"Paul Muldoon: To Ireland, I [2001] paperback","description":"In \"To Ireland, I\", Paul Muldoon produces a firework display of scholarship, wit, and intrigue, in an idiosyncratic wander through the alphabet of Irish lierature. From a mischievous beginning in Amergin - \"the first poet of Ireland\" - Muldoon forges link after link between the disparate and the unlikely, until modernists and medievalists appear as congenial neighbours on the half-lit, literary streets of Ireland. From Beckett and Bowen, through MacNeice, Swift, and Yeats - and ever-guided by Joyce - \"To Ireland, I\" tiptoes through the long grass of Irish writing, pirouetting at borders, diverting streams, into a landscape of pure Muldoon: of brilliant connections and irreverent asides, of improbable byways and unconventional leaps - but always a landscape of luminous engagement and genuine revelation. Muldoon's Ireland, shrouded in the feth fiada or \"magical mist\" of Gaelic literature, emerges as a strange estate, half-in, half-out of what he calls \"the fairy realm\". A provocative A to Z, with a particular emphasis on the continuity of the tradition, \"To Ireland, I\" is a jaunt through Irish literature from the poet Patrick Muldoon.","brand":"Muldoon, Paul","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":52147401326931,"sku":"9780198184744","price":11.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":52147401294163,"sku":"XV80198184744","price":7.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/muldoon-paul-paul-muldoon-to-ireland-i-2001-paperback-1198465613.jpg?v=1760815760","url":"https:\/\/theirishbookshop.live\/products\/paul-muldoon-to-ireland-i-2001-paperback","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
