Course Proposal Details for - D.H. Lawrence and E. M. Forster (Course code not assigned)
School
School of Literatures, Languages and Cultures
Summary
Students will learn about the impact of EM Forster and D H Lawrence's
childhoods, especially mothers, social class backgrounds and education
on their subsequent writing; and will also become acquainted with their
theories about Literature and the extent to which these shed light on
their practice as writers.
The course will explore the two writers' comparative struggles against
what they perceived as repressive and hypocritical in the attitudes of
their contemporaries, especially to social class and sex; the way travel
and personal relationships enabled both to achieve a measure of sexual
fulfilment and artistic integrity, which finds expression in their mature
works of fiction.
