D H Lawrence Society's Birthday Lecture

D.H. Lawrence Society's Birthday Lecture: 'D.H.Lawrence as Philosphical Novelist

11th September

 

In the last three decades of the twentieth century Lawrence’s reputation went into eclipse in many circles because of the concentration on the supposed opinions found in his work. By the end of the century he had not only started to recover from this but had been shown to have anticipated some of the central themes of cultural and philosophical critique in the new century. The theme is doubly timely in so far as his mature thought in this regard began to emerge a hundred years ago in the transition from Sons and Lovers to The Rainbow.
Michael Bell is Professor Emeritus in the Department of English and Comparative Literary Studies at the University of Warwick where he is also an Associate Fellow. His books include ‘D.H. Lawrence Language and Being’ (Cambridge university Press, 1992) as well as substantial discussions of Lawrence in his other written works.
