Jump to navigationJump to searchOpera composer from the 1898 novel Eveyln Innes: a novel by George Moore. He also appears in the 1901 sequel, Sister Theresa.
Moore based him on real poet W.B. Yeats.
An Irish Wagnerite, Dean has believes in Christianity but also in Celtic pantheism: "the ancient gods Angus and Lir, and the Great Mother Dana...."
He has a fling with the title character/opera singer [Evelyn Innes]] even though she's engaged to baronet Owen Asher.
He composed the opera Connla and the Fairy Maiden, and composes the opera Grania inspired by Eveyln, who was to sing the lead role before quitting opera alltogether.
