Joseph Darlington
Fr. Joseph Darlington SJ (1850-1939), was an English-born Jesuit Priest, who served as Dean of Studies and Professor of English in University College Dublin, at the time a Jesuit College. James Joyce was one of his pupils at UCD, and Joyce based the character Fr Butt SJ in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man on him.[1] Darlington was also Dean of the Medical School in Cecilia Street, from 1902.
Darlington received an MA from Brasenose College, Oxford, and became an Anglican priest; he later converted to Catholicism, becoming a Jesuit.[2]
Darlington contributed to the St. Stephens magazine in UCD. In 1895 he was first editor of The Sheaf magazine for the St Joseph's Young Priests Society.[3]
