Books with bad words inside (american and british english)

Hi,
I'm kinda new here.
I've got to write and essay about bad words in literature. Do you know any author or something? I've already found Dan Fante but I need more! Thanks!

Most of James Ellroy's brilliant work

" Gone with the Wind" by Margaret Mitchell.

"Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damm"

Big profanity for 1939!

What is a bad word? Enid Blyton uses strong racist terms in her books for children, that were normal then, but nowadays must not be uttered.

Chaucer- Miller's Tale

John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester- Poems:

There are far "worse" ones by Wilmot

Jonathan Swift- [/I]The Lady's Dressing Room:

Georges Bataille- [I]Story of the Eye

James Joyce- Ulysses (There was an infamous court case on obscenity fought over this)

Gore Vidal- Myra Breckenridge

"Kinda" is pretty bad. Especially written for a forum of people whose literary skills are well developed.

[Pensive]

Will Catcher in the Rye qualify or is that too mild?

[laymonite]

I second Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer or Tropic of Capricorn, and Philip Roth, Portnoy's Complaint. Also, Kathy Acker (American postmodernist writer) has some fairly ribald work.

Hope this helps!

One Hundred Years of Solitude.

"The world must be all ****ed up when men travel first class and literature goes as freight".
