Calder's Appendix A is entitled "Rosie," and it identifies for the first time the original of the heroine. Maugham always built his most interesting characters on real people. The publication of Cakes and Ale in 1933 touched off not one but a series of literary scandals, starting with the charge that Rosie's writer husband was a caricature of Thomas Hardy.

Appropriately, the lecture sketches out, in addition to a theory of the way in which societies regulate and suppress discourses, a number of possible projects with which we can expect to see Foucault continue his work. One such project might be an investigation of concepts of sexuality as expressed in linguistic taboos and their changes. Another, at an even more basic level, might investigate how ritual...
