Books by David Baguley

This historical and critical study of Zola's Fecondite contributes much to an understanding of how the novel came to be written and of its achievements.

This bibliography provides an admirably complete and intelligently organized survey for the large corpus of writings on Emile Zola, an important and widely read French author, by Zola scholars.

In Naturalist Fiction, the first major study of naturalist fiction as a distinct literary genre, Professor Baguley focuses mainly on French naturalist literature, analysing a number of key works in detail, as well as drawing on examples from other national traditions, particularly from the English novel.
