About the Author:
Seamus Heaney was born in County Derry in Northern Ireland. Death of a Naturalist, his first collection of poems, appeared in 1966, and was followed by poetry, criticism and translations which established him as the leading poet of his generation. In 1995 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature, and twice won the Whitbread Book of the Year, for The Spirit Level (1996) and Beowulf (1999). Stepping Stones, a book of interviews conducted by Dennis O'Driscoll, appeared in 2008; Human Chain, his last volume of poems, was awarded the 2010 Forward Prize for Best Collection. He died in 2013. His translation of Virgil's Aeneid Book VI was published posthumously in 2016 to critical acclaim. Ted Hughes (1930-1998) was born in Yorkshire. His first book, The Hawk in the Rain, was published in 1957 by Faber & Faber and was followed by many volumes of poetry and prose for adults and children. He received the Whitbread Book of the Year for two consecutive years for his last published collections of poetry, Tales from Ovid and Birthday Letters. He was Poet Laureate from 1984, and in 1998 he was appointed to the Order of Merit.

The editors of "The Rattle Bag" present an anthology which is designed as a history of the poetry of the British Isles and of poetry in the English language. It includes not only poems from the established canon, but also examples of Old English, Middle English, Scottish, Irish and Welsh poetry. Following on from their earlier success with an anthology - "The Rattle Bag" for Faber in 1982 - these two great friends and colleagues collaborated again with this rich selection of varied poetry, some "simple and basic", others "deep and thoughtful". There is not much in the way of criticism or analysis, just a wonderful selection of poems and poets from two people who knew well what they were writing about and reading. An excellent selection.
