Book Synopsis
The first book-length study of Heaney's dialogue with Virgil, one of Seamus Heaney's major literary exemplars.

Trade Review
"Falconer's powerful and probing study of Seamus Heaney's career-long relationship with Virgil reveals the Latin poet to be Heaney's inner interlocutor". Her sensitive close analysis of the wide-ranging intertextualities of Heaney's poetry brilliantly uncovers his complex identifications with Virgil as a poet with strong attachment to his rural roots."" -Susanna Braund, University of British Columbia
