It is also the first to examine the poems from the perspective of religion, one of Heaney's guiding preoccupations. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccording to Tobin, the growth of Heaney's poetry may be charted through the recurrent figure of \"the center,\" a key image in the relationship that evolved over time between the poet and his inherited place, an evolution that involved the continual re-evaluation and re-vision of imaginative boundaries. In a way that previous studies have not, Tobin's work examines Heaney's poetry in the context of modernist and postmodernist concerns about the desacralizing of civilization and provides a challenging engagement with the work of a living master.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University Press of Kentucky","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47610270417047,"sku":"9780813192352","price":2851.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780813192352.webp?v=1775063022","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/passage-to-the-center-imagination-and-the-sacred-in-the-poetry-of-seamus-heaney-9780813192352","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
