Modern poetry and ethnography : Yeats, Frost, Warren, Heaney, and the poet as anthropologist / Sean Heuston. - First edition. - New York : Palgrave Macmillan, - xii, 195 pages ; 22 cm.

Includes bibliographical references and index.

"Modern Poetry and Ethnography: Yeats, Frost, Warren, Heaney, and the Poet as Anthropologist maps a new approach to the works of W.B. Yeats, Robert Frost, Robert Penn Warren, and Seamus Heaney. Heuston analyzes the ways the works of each writer representand explain a country or region (Ireland for Yeats, New England for Frost, the American South for Warren, and Northern Ireland for Heaney) as if the writers were anthropologists or ethnographers. This project argues provocatively that literary critics can benefit greatly from the insights and theories of anthropology and ethnography"--
