| Abstract | ||||
| Hermeneutics as a research practice involves reappraisal and reinterpretation in relation to its cultural contexts. This article addresses these issues upon launching a study of Heaney’s early poetry specially his first major volume of poetry, Death of a Naturalist (1966). The present paper focuses on the themes of fear, decay and death in the poetry of Seamus Heaney exposed through a hermeneutical approach practiced through Derrida’s deconstruction as method. | ||||
