This edition of Seamus Heaney’s seminal fourth collection North, reproduced in its elegant first setting and original jacket, marks fifty years since first publication.

By conjuring aspects of a shared Northern European experience – its peculiar landscapes and
weathers, its sea-faring incursions, the vernaculars of its buried and living peoples – Heaney
found a way of articulating a vision of Ireland in which the disruptions and violences of the Troubles could be reflected too.

This book is a hardback.
