... A Comparison Between 'Requiem For The croppies' And 'The Tollund Man', both by Seamus Heaney Seamus Heany is a poet, born in Northern Ireland in 1939. He currently divides his time between his home in Dublin and Harvard University, where he is 'Emerson poet in residence'. Heaney's poems are rarely political but two poems which comment indirectly on sectarian violence are 'Requiem For The Croppies'- written in 1966, and 'The Tollund Man' which was published in 1972. Each poem is inspired by the past but is revolving to the recent troubles. Heaney was awarded the 'Nobel Prize for Literature' in 1995. 'Requiem For The Croppies' was written in 1966 to mark the anniversary of the Easter rising (the Easter rising refers to a rebellion against the British by the catholic Irish which brought about the civil war.). The poem tells of an earlier rebellion of the Irish against the protestant British in 1798 and
