Abstract
Most of the essays reprinted in Celtic Revivals are already canonical, having long since established their author as one of the most distinguished (and arcane) critics of Irish writing. Many have been pruned for inclusion here, even though they were models of economy, density and subtlety in their original form, with some inevitable loss of range and power. But in bringing so many of his pieces into one volume, Deane’s London publishers have eloquently demonstrated the originality of his contribution to the study of international modernism.
