Irene R. Fairley is a linguist, artist, and former professor in the English department at Northeastern University, where she taught courses on literature, linguistics and stylistics. The bulk of her work focuses on using linguistics in the analysis of literature, particularly “poetic structure and creative uses of syntax”.[1][2][3][4] Her work in linguistic analysis of poetry, particularly that of E. E. Cummings and William Carlos Williams, has been cited as a basis of further discussion.[5][6] Fairley was born in Brooklyn and lived there until age 16. She attended Queens College, where she studied English literature and languages, and earned her BA.[7] She went on to study linguistics at Harvard University, and there she earned her MA and PhD. She has taught at Harvard College and C.W. Post College of Long Island University, as well as being a full professor in the Northeastern University English Department for 27 years, retiring in 2001.[8][9][10][11] In 1979, Fairley was awarded the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship for linguistics.[12]
Fairley has been an artist since the 1970s and has exhibited her works widely in the Boston area. Her works include watercolor, sculpture and printmaking. She is a member of the Cambridge Art Association, the Concord Art Association, and New England Sculptors. [9] [7][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][8]
