PS “…essentially a tragic age”: The realism of D.H. Lawrence

This course introduces the complex and often provoking writings of one the most influential English writers of the 20th century. The seminar will start off with a workshop on the author, his time and how to approach literary realism and the Lawrentian oeuvre (Saturday 30 October 2021, in attendance). Discussions of a selection of Lawrence’s short stories will take place every other week via Zoom. We will close the semester with a workshop on Lawrence’s last and most scandalous novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover (1928) on 19 February 2022.
