Analysis of the Norman MacCaig’s Poem “Assisi”
[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses one poem by the Scottish poet, Norman MacCaig (1910-1996). MacCaig has been hailed as one of Scotland’s greatest poets. Balance is always a key point in MacCaig’s poetry, whether it is the balance between light and dark, man and nature, or man with other men. His skills of observation were also often directed toward the nature of identity and how one individual perceives him/herself and others. Such is the case with MacCaig’s poem “Assisi” that was published in his collection titled “Surroundings” in 1966. Bibliography lists 2 sources.

Brian Friel’s “Translations” -- A Drama of Cultural Ambivalence
[ send me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses Irish playwright Brian Friel’s work
“Translations.” In it, he tells the story of the British to
dominate all of Irish culture and heritage by translating and
changing ancient Gaelic names of villages and towns into English.
Many drama critics, social commentators, and literary historians
have described it a “metaphor” or a parable of the struggles in
Northern Ireland regarding the British, cultural assimilation,
and the determination to maintain a separate and unique identity.
Friel demonstrates that the translation of language was no simple
exercise in words and the use of one language over another, it
was the beginning of an institutionalized encouragement of
cultural ambivalence that had become one of the means by which
the English were determined to eradicate uniquely Irish thinking.
Bibliography lists 4 sources.
