Seamus Heaney, one of the finest poets writing English language, and the late Richard Ellmann, biographer of Joyce and Wilde and critic of Yeats, in literary dialogue about these three brilliant Dublin writers. The dialogue uses documentary material pertaining to Joyce, Yeats, and Wilde, and was filmed at such literary landmarks as the Hill of Howth, Sandymount Green, Trinity College, and the Joyce Tower at Sandycove. For information on this program, please call (800) 257-5126 or (609) 4521128 ...it's either published in 1982 or 1992?
I studied all this at 26 in my Master’s thesis. I’m 70 now. And young again.
I just signed up to a Masters in Irish literature. I hope it enriched your journey as I am hoping it will mine.
just seamus heaney and richard ellmann casually talking about joyce on a video with less than 20k views...
Two greats on three greats. Wonderful, intelligent, and absorbing.
'The diocese of the imagination?' What a gem!
This is just superb - one of the greatest literary critics and biographers in mutual interview with a nobel laureate chatting about 3 literary giants. What a pleasure. TH-cam is amazing at times.
My Irish heritage sometimes haunts me until I run across something like this that grounds me.
Take a walk with Seamus Heaney and Richard Ellmann. Can you get any more joyous than that!?
What an absolute gem. This so natural conversation ouzes integrity. Such respect and insight between the two. Beautiful.
Damn, what a treasure, what a pleasure - had no idea this even existed. Ellman's marvelous Joyce bio beyond its immense acclaimed merits has this also: almost every page has humor as well, I need to read again - it's been decades!
Ellmann was still working on the Wilde biography in '82, as I recall. It was published in 1988. Meantime, he was suffering the beginnings of Lou Gehrig's disease in '81-'82...living in the St. Giles house in Oxford.
Thank you.This is a gem.Noticed the pens at 29.14.Every second was remarkable.I am grateful.
That was wonderful. Thank you.
WOW. XOX!
Marvellous!
Richard Ellmann is so much a kindly learned gentleman.
The great Jewish diaspora contributed so much of value to our culture and times, bless them all.
Richard Ellmann was a literary scholar and not a rabbi...
lovely! thank you for uploading.
Thanks for this. Wonder-full to see and hear them both x
Seamus Heaney is the greatest of all Irish poets.
I would agree in the last 70 years. But Yeats? Lets not argue. We are blessed to have both.
Fine insights between two men of glowing appreciation for literary arts and for each other's work. Thanks so much for posting!

His Oscar Wilde really caught the spirit of Oscar.
This is all very interesting, Liam; I will save it to read some morning after breakfast.
Brendan Behan made more use of Howth, he was a regular sea swimmer.
I'm not sure Wilde had a particularly Irish sense of place ?
His natural habitat was the glittering salons / theatres of
late Victorian London . Rather like Yeats ....and Shaw ?
True about Wilde and Shaw, but Yeats was very close to Ireland his whole life. He was the major figure of the Irish Literary Revival centered in Dublin, was partly responsible for getting the Abbey Theatre up and running, and was later a senator in the senate of the new Irish Free State. He was always much more involved in Irish political and cultural life than Wilde or Shaw; or Joyce or Beckett for that matter.
A bit stupid - Beethoven most of his life in Vienna, Stravinsky, Mann, Brecht, Menuhin, Rubinstein....get a life!
They are not Gaelic surnames like O’Neill or such. Joyce is actually probably the most native Irish out of them all. I think that’s what has been noticed. These people are mostly the descendants of landed Anglo gentry and not of the native Gaelic population.
Why does Eire not have. Awards for literature or something called. THE OSCARS
after Wilde?!?
On accounta that name's taken
10:42 did he just say "the rizz of Ireland"?
Filmed in late 70s, early 80s????
Interestingly, this part th-cam.com/video/xG2vTbERE4g/w-d-xo.html appears to say 1982 [MCMLXXXII] while this clearly says 1992 [MCMXCII] th-cam.com/video/xG2vTbERE4g/w-d-xo.html
@Helen Fontsere' any idea?
@@JasonLaurvick Richard Ellmann died in 1987 so I guess it must be 1982?
According to its listing at a university library, it is definitely from 1982. It does not appear to have much traction, and may even qualify as “lost media,” in the sense that there is very little information about it despite it starring poet Seamus Heaney. This documentary does not even have a listing on Letterboxd, and that site contains a listing of most everything ever once filmed.
Succinct bio...

Why am I continuously annoyed by stupid ads?
Not sure why, I saw none. I think it’s between the algorithm and your watching habits. It seems to be targeted at individuals.
If you value your time spent watching TH-cam offerings then Premium subscription is the only way to go. It's a no brainer.
@@gregleonard1562 No brainer??? Are you serious?? TH-cam drowns these videos in disturbing advertisements, and then says "pay us and they will go away!" Anyone who actually does that is a fool. No brainer, indeed.
@@Cathari Then spend your money on something less disturbing and stop complaining like a disintegrating snowflake, or is a case of a fool and his/her money are easy parted especially if the fool is being bombarded with intrusive ads they haven't bargained for. Sort the problem within yourself and stop blaming the outside world for being disturbed. Hope this helps. Peace
Wilde seems shoe-horned into the triumvirate, somewhat, in the sense that he is not remotely as identified with Ireland as the other two, whether that is fair or not. Not complaining, though, as it was a pleasure to listen to the exchange of thoughts on him as much as on the others.
Very interesting, although, nothing is adding.
But a good place to begin!
Seamus Healey,! A nice Man told the tales of my father and not nice to us at ballyscullion. Told the lives of us and my uncle.sam , good job to the awful poet ....x used our darkness for your fame....
