In Memoriam
Seamus Deane (9 February 1940-12 May 2021), Professor of English and the Donald and Marilyn Keough Professor of Irish Studies Emeritus, was one of Ireland’s foremost writers and critics, best-known for his award-winning autobiographical novel Reading in the Dark and the landmark Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing.

In these pages, we collect reflections on the life and legacy of Seamus Deane by our faculty fellows and others in the world of Irish studies who knew Professor Deane or were influenced by his scholarship and writing.
