Ideas Matter: modernisation and nature in Lady Chatterley's Lover


Listen Later

Sixth lecture in series Psychology and Democracy from The Academy 2020 organised by Battle of Ideas (boi) charity.

Our focus in this podcast is Lady Chatterley’s Lover by D. H. Lawrence. The novel was published in 1928, the period just after the First World War when anticipation of future possibilities coexisted with feelings of dread over the world to come. Against a backdrop of fears over mass society, and intense interest in conflicting dynamics of modernisation and tradition, industrialisation and nature, we look at what Lawrence tells us about inner turmoil in a shifting world.

Lecturer: Ella Whelan, co-convenor, Battle of Ideas festival; journalist, broadcaster and commentator; writer and presenter, ‘Girl Power RIP’, Radio 4

THE ACADEMY 2020: PSYCHOLOGY AND DEMOCRACY

The Academy Online was a mixture of lectures and seminars offering an opportunity to place contemporary events in a historical and philosophical context. The full programme and some background reading can be found at theboi.co.uk/the-academy-online…logy-and-democracy

THE ACADEMY

In the context of today’s instrumental approaches to knowledge, The Academy summer school is a modest attempt to demonstrate the value of scholarship, and of the worth of the university as a place of free enquiry dedicated to the pursuit of truth.
