• Resumen

  • This study reflects on Seamus Heaney as a conscientious writer or sonnets who moves slowly from tradition to independence, which is achieved by a creative assimilation of both the English and Italian canons that includes a wise mixture of convention and experimentation. Attention is mainly focused on Heaney's two sonnet-sequences, "Glanmore Sonnets" and "Clearances", which are considered here both at form and content levels as perfect evidence of the poet's increasingly steady control over the sonnet as a poetic genre.
