Beskrivning
Seamus Deane combined academic rigour with an expressive style that was characterised by both passion and commitment. Without losing any scholarly precision or acuity, he succeeded in engaging broader audiences in some of the key debates of his time. These included: the role of culture in creating political structures and conflict; the responsibility of artists, particularly writers, to articulate alternatives; and the need to think beyond Northern Ireland's political stalemate and imagine a New Ireland. This essential book brings together for the first time Deane's early writings and demonstrates his continuing relevance. It shows his mastery of Irish literature and the striking originality of his readings of canonical texts as well as of contemporary writers. It will delight all those already familiar with Deane's unique voice, while also engaging a fresh generation of readers who will encounter here one of the great literary stylists of the island of Ireland.

Recensioner i media

'These essays show a brilliant mind at work – incisive, acerbic, passionately engaged and combative. Seamus Deane makes distinctions as much as connections, working with irony and paradox as much as clear and chiselled statement, offering serious and original thinking about text and context, literature created in a time of crisis.' Colm Tóibín
