INTRODUCTION
1
Overview of Pat Barker s life and career, her work as a novelist, and the criti¬
cal reaction which her books have drawn. Key themes that run through that
criticism—gender, class, social realism, politics, violence and trauma.
CHAPTER ONE
10
Beginnings
The beginning of Pat Barker s novelistic career; early reactions to her fictions of
working-class women in north-eastern UK; relationship of economic crisis and
violence. Questions about realism, sociology, politics, authenticity. First film from
Barker s fiction. This chapter covers Pat Barker s first two novels, Union Street
and Blow Your House Down, as well as Stanley
&
Iris (the film derived from Union
Street).
CHAPTER TWO
30
History, Gender, and Class
A Condition-of-England novel with war, spiritualism, and struggle; working-
class life without work; the adolescence of an imaginative and intelligent boy at
odds with his milieu. The pains of illegitimacy, of various forms. Films as material
for daydreams. This chapter covers Liza s England and
777e
Man Who Wasn t
There.
CHAPTER THREE
44
The Regeneration Trilogy
Britain s central historic repository, and literary war reinterpreted through the
psychic wounds of serving officers; Barker s initiation into the traditional histori¬
cal novel , with real biographical persons intermingled with her creations; therapy
and efforts at cure. The home front as a tableau of suspicion, surveillance, and
paranoia. The genesis of some major war poetry; the relations between East and
West, between anthropology and psychiatry.
CHAPTER FOUR
61
Regeneration
(1991)
Traumas of the Western Front in
1917;
Dr W.
H. R.
Rivers and poet Siegfried
Sassoon; sexual complexities of war-making; class divisions; questions of manli¬
ness. Questions of sanity in resistance to war. Fidelity to facts in writing historical
fiction. Political commitment; meaning of anti-war .
CHAPTER FIVE
76
The Eye in the Door
(1993)
The War on the Home Front; surveillance and suspicion of the other including
homosexuals and lesbians, pacifists, socialists and dead poets. Ambiguities of

Louis Stevenson.
CHAPTER SIX
87
The Ghost Road
(1995)
The Trilogy concludes. Disposition of some major characters; themes brought to
some conclusion; the deepest examination of relationships between health and
warfare, between psychiatry and the war machine, and between death on the
Western Front and in the South Pacific.
CHAPTER SEVEN
97
The Violence Around Us
The modern family as a site for strife and violence comparable to war; a vet¬
eran s torments; uncanny repetitions of disturbing patterns; the limited capacity
of therapy to cure the inexplicably violent; artists and their response to a world of
suffering; love as a conceivable antidote to a world of horrors. This chapter covers
Another World, Border Crossing, and Double Vision.
CHAPTER EIGHT
115
Back to the Front
Barker s return to the
1912-1917
period: civilian life disrupted by war; or civilian life
pursued in an effort to ignore the war; the costs of fighting; the paradoxical effort
of art to record war s destruction; whether, and how, normal life can continue in a
time of crisis. This chapter covers Life Class and Toby s Room.
CONCLUSION
125

Barker s fiction; identification of important books and essays; directions for future
criticism.
