This study contains and insightful biographical portrait of the author – the most substantive account of Day’s life every written - and a comprehensive list of citations to every publication that can now be attributed to Day, including items that appeared under pseudonyms, and other rarities. It will enable researchers and scholars to recognize that the sheer volume of Day’s published drawings, prose, and verse is far more substantial than previously been assumed. Day is famous primarily for Life With Father and Life With Mother, but his other published work has not been previously documented. The bio-bibliography will also permit scholars to identify and access key primary and secondary sources for future research on Day.
Reviews
“A quick perusal of this meticulous catalogue will offer many surprises to readers acquainted with him only as the author of Life With Father. Who would have guessed that Day had been an outspoken supporter of voting rights for women? Coyne and Moran have illuminated a surprising new facet of Day’s character through the identification of a handful of satirical cartoons that he drew for suffrage publications of the 1910’s. A survey of Day’s early short stories and magazine columns reveals that he was fascinated by the changing roles of men and women in American society as Victorian conceptions of marriage, family, and domestic order unraveled in the first decades of the twentieth century….this volume establishes that Day’s printed words and drawings do form, in themselves, a substantial and extraordinary body of work…. For Clarence Day’s many audiences of the future, this bio-bibliography will serve as an essential introduction and an indispensable guide.” – James Moske, Archivist, The New York Public Library. Mr. Moske arranged and catalogued the Clarence Day Papers held by the Manuscripts and Archives Division of The New York Public Library
