Why is it important?
Of interest to cultural and literary historians, this ground-breaking study testifies to the arrival of scatology as an academic subject, at the same time recognising that it remains if not outside, then at least at the margins of conventional scholarship.
Perspectives
A labour of love! This book engages with some of the most amusing and some of the darkest portrayals of the human body and its sometimes involuntary functions in English literature - never a dull moment!

A Year of Shakespeare. Re-living the World Shakespeare Festival analyses the titanic endeavour of the Cultural Olympiad in 2012 that saw the performance of the complete works of Shakespeare locally and globally. What is more, the book retraces a successful experimentation of the instruments and methodology of reviewing.
