 Professor
Emeritus Frank Day was born in 1932 in East Parsonsfield, Maine.
He has graduate degrees from the University of Tennessee and the University
of Rochester. He taught at Clemson University for more than three
decades and was Head of the English Department from 1994 to 1997.
Because of his versatility and wide reading, he taught nearly every
course on the books. He served as an editor of The South Carolina
Review for nearly twenty years and, from 1986, was Field Editor for
Twayne’s United States Authors Series, published by G. K. Hall.
He also managed The Comparatist for several years. He is the author
of Sir William Empson: An Annotated Bibliography and A Reader’s
Guide to Arthur Koestler, as well as numerous articles, essays, and
book contributions on authors as diverse as Melville, Balzac, DeLillo,
and Naipaul. He was a Fulbright Lecturer in Romania (1980-1981) and
Bangladesh (1986-1987), speaking on American literature at universities
in Kathmandu, Karachi, Peshavar, Lahore, Islamabad, Hyderabad, and
Multan. Day’s experience, candor, and enthusiasm are deeply valued
at our young press, where, before this book, he served as contributing
editor and advisor. |
