In 1990, Boland published Outside History, a book of poetry divided into three sections: Object Lessons, Outside History: A Sequence, and Distances. The following is an excerpt from R. T. Smith’s essay “Altered Light: Outside History”

“In her relentless excavation of the local events and moments that bear witness to women’s legitimate place in history and the interpretative community, Eavan Boland has for a decade brought to light the nature of the myths that women have been relegated to.... Each poem represents a significant skirmish or pitched battle in the quest for full investiture.... The initial section, ‘Object Lessons,’ introduces motifs of exile, fragility and damage, and the puzzling interactions”

between men and women through meditations on an elegant fan, [etc.]. Although she makes no pretence of presenting ‘objective’ lessons, she does focus on ‘objectionable’ ones, lessons in which the outsider’s perspective is given weight, the acts and words in the private house and garden are recognized as too close to the lens for conventional history to examine. This is an insurrection against traditional male iconography.”
