Electric Light

Seamus Heaney

Electric Light travels widely in time and space, visiting the sites of the classical world, revisiting Heaney's childhood: rural electrification and the light of ancient evenings are reconciled within the orbit of a single lifetime. This is a book about origins (not least the origins of words) and oracles: the places where things start from, the ground of understanding - whether in Arcadia or Anahorish, the sanctuary at Epidaurus or the Bann valley in County Derry.
