John Montague's The Rough Field is one of the most important books in modern Irish literature. First published in 1972, this extended meditation on Ulster and its Troubles is 'a rich and complex work by the best Irish poet of his generation' (Derek Mahon). The historical and the personal, autobiographical and mythological come together in a magnificent exploration of his own and his people's inheritance.
