Field Day Publications

Field Day, in association with the Keough-Naughton Institute for Irish Studies at the University of Notre Dame, publishes works of literary criticism, history, politics and cultural studies. In spring 2005 it launched Field Day Review, an annual journal primarily concerned with Irish literary and political culture. Field Day's backlist includes Seamus Heaney's Sweeney Astray (1983) and the Field Day Pamphlets (1983-88), a series of fifteen essays on culture and politics by, amongst others, Seamus Deane (series editor), Terry Eagleton, Fredric Jameson, Tom Paulin and Edward Said. It also published The Field Day Anthology of Irish Writing, 5 vols. (1991, 2002) and Critical Conditions (1996-2005), fifteen essay collections on issues in Irish cultural studies. These books have appeared under Field Day's own imprint and in association with respected presses, notably Faber and Faber, Gallery Press, W. W. Norton, Cork University Press, University of Minnesota Press and University of Notre Dame Press.
