This project explores the influence of the United States on the poetry and aesthetic imaginary of Louis MacNeice (1907-1963). It examines his formative readings of Emerson, Whitman, and Eliot, before tracing intertextual allusions and lines of reciprocal influence between MacNeice and his American contemporaries, including Frost, Bishop, Williams, Stevens, and Cummings. Combining formal analysis with revisionary archival research, it seeks to map, for the first time, the poet's critical reception in the US. Finally, it argues that a critical re-orientation of MacNeice in light of his transatlantic experience is necessary to illuminate the later Irish-American exchanges that his example enabled.

该项目探讨了美国对路易斯·麦克尼斯（Louis MacNeice）诗歌和审美虚构（1907-1963）的影响。它研究了他对艾默生，惠特曼和艾略特的形成性读物，然后追踪麦克尼斯和他的美国同时代人（包括弗罗斯特，毕晓普，威廉姆斯，史蒂文斯和卡明斯）之间的互文典故和互惠影响。将正式分析与修订档案研究相结合，它首次试图绘制诗人在美国的关键接收。最后，它认为，鉴于麦克尼斯的跨大西洋经历，必须阐明后来的爱尔兰裔美国人的交流，这是他的榜样所启用的，这是必要的。
