Strange Country
Strange Country identifies the origin, the development, and the success of the Irish literary tradition in English as one of the first literature that is both national and colonial.
Reading in the Dark
This is the story of a haunted Irish childhood. The setting is Derry in the Northern Ireland of the 40s and 50s, fraught with political hatred, family secrets and lethal intrigue. As a young boy tries to make sense of life, poverty and violence shift and obscure the facts; meanwhile his night-time reading of Irish legends weaves enchantment through reality. Claustrophobic but lyrically charged, breathtakingly sad but vibrant and unforgettable, this is one of the finest books about growing up – in Ireland or anywhere – that has ever been written.

Seminar paper from the year 2023 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,0, University of Würzburg (Neuphilologisches Institut), course: Irish Gothic, language: English, abstract: This paper starts by defining characteristic traits of Gothic Literature and the concept of liminality, and explains how both can be linked together. It then analyses how both Gothic and liminal traits are intertwined in Seamus Deane's "Reading in the Dark" and how they work to create the novel's defining hopeless, gloomy atmosphere. Also, this paper analyses how characters use liminal techniques to communicate unspeakable truths, yet ultimately fail to escape the liminal space they occupy.
