Does D.H. Lawrence have a Sense of Humour?

Download to your calendar using vCal

If you have a question about this talk, please contact Bert Vaux .

D.H. Lawrence has often been described not only as humourless, but as unintentionally amusing in his seriousness. This short talk allows Lawrence to play the mimic, the buffoon, the enfant-terrible, the pricker of pretensions, the defensive self-parodist, the leering Pan, the divinely-laughing Buddha, and the genial, melancholic, hysterical, and savage satirist. In word and deed from adolescence to Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Delivered in a spirit of seriousness, in the service of Lawrence’s reputation.

This talk is part of the King's Occasional Lectures series.
