Books by Gary Day

Dealing with moral, political and sexual tensions, this volume provides a forum for male/female dialogue concerning the history, dissemination and consequences of pornographic representaion in film and literature, aiming to challenge established views and inspire further exploration and debate.

The essays are drawn from a wide range of theoretical perspectives, covering language, history, psychoanalysis, feminism and the relation of the novels to modernism, and look forward to new developments in Lawrence scholarship.

The essays collected here all take issue with the claim that the Victorian period is the antithesis of our own. Covering everything from attitudes to drink to the poetry of Browning, from the Great Exhibition to the Elephant Man, this volume shows not only how the Victorians coped with these challenges but also what lessons they have for us today.

This book provides an incisive, informative history of literary criticism from the Ancient Greek period to the present day.

Gary Day traces the phenomenon of class from the medieval to the postmodern period, examining its relevance to literary and cultural analysis today.
