Denis Donoghue, who has died aged 92, was one of the worldâs foremost scholars of modern literature. He published more than 30 books and held professorships at New York University and his alma mater, University College Dublin. Writing for the London Review of Books, Frank Kermode described him as âa literary critic of the first rankâ.
Initially made an assistant lecturer in 1953, Donoghue taught at UCD for close to three decades. The quality of his publications brought the college unprecedented prestige in the international literary world. Tall in stature, extemporising his lectures without notes, and combining a rare command of the spoken word with a gift for powerful critical insights, he struck an impressive and even intimidating figure to undergraduates. One former student recalled that âit was easy to mistake his grand, rolling cadences for the voice of Godâ.
