The aims of the course will be to consider the particular ways in which Lawrence treats social, moral and cultural issues, his approach to questions of class, nation, religion and sexuality, and his particular approach to psychology, and concepts of ways of life.
Learning outcomes
By the end of the course participants will have a better understanding of the aims, content, and approach of Lawrence's work, the possible reasons for its popularity and notoriety, the particular nature of its aesthetic, and its continuing pertinence to the cultural and moral perspectives of the present era.
