Marjan Shokouhi’s new book From Landscapes to Cityscapes attests to the ways in which Irish ecocritical scholarship has developed into more than a simple “subfield” of Irish Studies. Shokouhi takes readers on a fascinating journey through the work of three iconic Irish poets in the modern period – Yeats, Kavanagh and MacNeice – from the burgeoning perspective of Irish ecological criticism, exhibiting the complexities of the Irish Literary Revival in addressing questions of place and identity and opening new avenues of research in relation to new voices and marginal identities. Pilar Villar-Argáiz University of Granada, Spain From wild ancient forests to the Lagan riverside, From Landscapes to Cityscapes offers a new take on the sense of place in modern Irish poetry. Using Heidegger’s concept of dwelling, it examines the verse of Yeats, Kavanagh and Macneice from an ecocritical perspective in a worthy contribution to the field. Audrey Robitaillié Lecturer in Anglophone Literature and Irish Studies
