| dc.description.abstract | This paper outlines briefly the history of the utopian idea of the 'fifth province' in contemporary Irish cultural discourse. It then examines perhaps the fullest expression of this idea in Seamus Heaney's play 'The Cure at Troy' (a version of Sophocles' 'Philoctetes'), where the idea of rhyming hope and history is articulated. It argues that the utopian valence of this idea lies in the necessity and impossibility of completing this rhyme. | en |
