Reviews

A breakthrough study, which combines a fine alertness to the local intensities of McGuckian's form and style with a sure understanding of the wider social forces out of which her works spring. This is a luminous, original analysis by a scholar who has the gift of explanation rather than simplification. -- Declan Kiberd, University of Notre Dame Remarkable, revisionary, and beautifully written, Silence and Articulacy in the Poetry of Medbh McGuckian will be a landmark study of McGuckian's oeuvre. A critical intervention made by this book is to place in perspective-hopefully for good-the debates about McGuckian's intertextuality and to integrate that practice with the concerns structuring her work: trauma, silence and dispossession. -- David Lloyd, University of California, Riverside
