The islands of Ireland are shaped by their relationships with land and sea. This book is a study of the various and changing ways in which literature has drawn the coast in lines that shape the contours of cultural experience. The literary and historical study of the sea has swelled in the last decade, as has an interest in the littoral and the archipelagic. Beginning with the early works of William Butler Yeats, this book travels through the diverse hydroscapes of Irish literature from the late nineteenth century to the present, framing writers and artists from James Joyce to Anne Enright in liquid, and maritime contexts. In doing so it suggests new planetary frames through which to read literature’s relationships with the sea and its margins. With readings of contemporary writers, including Eiléan Ní Chuilleanáin, Kevin Barry, Seamus Heaney, Sinead Morrissey, and John Banville, and literary magazines, including The Bell, Atlantis, and Archipelago, this book is the first sustained study of Irish coastal literature.

One of the most interesting of South African poets, Sipho Sepamla recently published his third collection of verse, The Soweto I Love (Rex Collings, London and David Philip, Cape Town). A teacher by training, he now works for an East Rand company; apart from poetry he also writes short stories and edits two literary magazines. In an interview with the novelist Stephen Gray, broadcast last June by the African Service of the BBC, Sepamla discussed the problems of presentday Black writers in South Africa, showing why poets have now become the chief spokesmen for Black consciousness, represented in earlier years by writers of fiction.

Literary Periodicals

During the period of political “Thaw”, which ended with the defeat of the reform movement in Czechoslovakia, the role of mouthpieces of changing public attitudes and a platform for discussing acute cultural issues became the literary magazines “Mladá tvorba” (1956-1970) and “Kultúrny život” (1946-1968). Focused on a different range of readers and a range of issues, they have remained relevant and authoritative publications throughout their existence, the value of the traditions of which is still preserved.

John Middleton Murry

John Middleton Murry, born in Peckham, London on 6 August 1889, was a prolific English writer best known today as the husband and literary executor of Katherine Mansfield. The son of an internal revenue clerk, determined to overcome his lower-middle-class surroundings, Murry won a scholarship to Christ’s Hospital, Sussex, and another to Brasenose College, Oxford, where he graduated with a first in Classics. He founded the journal Rhythm, beginning the editorial and critical labours that defined his reputation during his life. Murry edited a succession of literary magazines—most influentially, the Athanaeum. He steadily produced volumes of literary criticism, politics, religion, and other non-fiction until his death, drawing attention (and often ire) for his radical politics and his critical disagreements with T.S. Eliot.
