In 1999 there appeared in The New York Review o f Books a review by Andrew
Delbanco of some seven studies (all but one of them published in the period 1997-99)
which included Alvin Keman’s The Death o f Literature and Robert Scholes’s The
Rise and Fall o f English. On the basis of such titles Delbanco’s piece appeared under
the heading, ‘The Decline and Fall of Literature’.1 While some years have elapsed
since the appearance of the review, and while some of the points made have more
relevance to North American than Irish universities, the arguments put forward are
still worth revisiting, if only to provide a starting-point for what is, in its very nature,
an ongoing debate.
