Seamus Heaney as Aesthetic Thinker - A Study of the Prose
                                
                                
                             
                            
                         
                            
                            
                        Seamus Heaney's death in August 2013 brought to completion his body of work, and scholars are only now coming to understand the full scale and importance of his career. Much of the scholarship to date on Heaney has focused on his poetry. O'Brien's new work, however, focuses on Heaney's essays, book chapters, and lectures as it seeks to understand how Heaney explored the poet's role in the world.
