Revised and expanded, an essential resource for scholars of the poet


This comprehensive bibliography of the poet, critic and Nobel Laureate extends the work of the first edition, which (with the assistance of Heaney himself) included work up to 2003. Aside from its importance to bibliographers, this book will be essential for students of the textual history of Heaney's work. Heaney continued writing until his death in 2013, and significant posthumous publications include Aeneid Book VI (2018) and the definitive Poems of Seamus Heaney (2025). The aim of this volume has been to record everything that Heaney published - poetry and prose - and to provide full details of the circumstances of publication for his major works, including first print runs, reviews and descriptive notes. Items listed in other sections include contributions to books and periodicals, and interviews.
