AWW23: A Tender Lady Chatterley - Alison MacLeod
Chair: Felicity Plunkett
\nAlison MacLeod\u2019s historical novel\xa0Tenderness\xa0is a powerful recreation of the origins of D. H. Lawrence\u2019s scandalous love story,\xa0Lady Chatterley\u2019s Lover. From the author in exile, dying bereft in 1930s France, to the high drama of the obscenity trial, MacLeod\u2019s novel captures the 20th century conflicts over censorship and sexuality. She talks about the power of literature to disturb, our urge to repress and the resonances of this historical chapter for our time.
