Well Dreams: Essays on John Montague (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781881871453)

Redshaw gathers twenty-one original essays on the influential Irish poet and novelist, which provide a critical context for Montague's Collected Poems (1995) and the tales and portraits in Company (2001). Montague played a pivotal role in the international evolution of Irish poetry from the late 1950s in Dublin through the worst years of the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland. Here, American, English, and European critics and scholars touch upon every aspect of Montague's essays, stories, and poetry. Redshaw offers a survey of the criticism and a descriptive checklist.

A stunning tribute to a masterful poet [with] seminal
essays by some of the finest critics of contemporary Irish
poetry . . . mandatory reading.-Michael Patrick Gillespie, Marquette University, President, The American Conference for Irish Studies.
