The purpose of this book is to confront the myths surrounding Kavanagh and to assess his work on its own merits, while placing him in his proper position in the Irish literary tradition. The book is divided into two parts, the first looking at the young \"ploughman poet\" and the second at the more mature Kavanagh following his move to Dublin in 1939 and his subsequent development as a major literary figure. The book focuses on the phenomenon of Kavanagh the post-colonial writer who brought what had been a sub-culture to literary consciousness and at the struggle in his life and work for poetic \"irresponsibility\", that freedom from the burden of repectable subject matter and gravity of manner which he deliberately set out to achieve.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780717117048\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eItem Condition:\u003c\/b\u003e UsedLikeNew\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52597389951303,"sku":"HF-ZSF4-H6O5","price":39.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0293\/7474\/2572\/files\/61ZP0sidw5L.jpg?v=1761081464","url":"https:\/\/www.pigeonhousebooks.com\/products\/patrick-kavanagh-born-again-romantic-gills-studies-in-irish-literature","provider":"Pigeonhouse Books, Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
