  2. I started #reading Lady Chatterley's Lover and I'm not sure what to make of it yet.

    I mean, I've only read a couple of chapters so it's early days.

    But I've got a feeling its main USP is a controversial-for-the-time liberal attitude to sex and I'm not sure I'm going to find it all that interesting.

    I'll give it a go though.

    Actually, one concept that impressed me a lot is how it is mentioned one of the pits had been burning for years because it would take thousands of pounds to put out. So the surrounding area is permeated with burning and smoke.

    It certainly sets a particular scene.

  7. I want to grapple more with D.H. Lawrence, in particular "The Rainbow" and "Women in Love".

    I've read both but came away puzzled and dissatisfied. What did I miss? I've been nagged by a feeling for years that my inadequacies as a reader have obscured important themes from me. I don't have much time to do unrelated to work rereading, but I do have a hunch that understanding these two works will better my understanding of both my country and myself past and present.

    Lawrence's reputation has never fully recovered from the attack mounted on his work by Kate Millett in the 1970 "Sexual Politics". Feminist scholarship following Millett contributed to the supersession of the Leavisite criticism that had championed Lawrence as the heir to the "Great Tradition" of moral seriousness in English literature, and that critical approach withered not only intellectually, but also institutionally as British literature and humanities departments came more and more under the sway of US academia's priorities and values; what place for Lawrence's rainswept reflections on the burdens of class in Britain on a sunny, tech infused Californian campus? Pointing to Lawrence in New Mexico or Australia just feels desperate...

    My reading, however, is informed but not determined by what's in favor (note the spelling) in departments of literature. Kate Millett might have hated "Lady Chatterley's Lover", but I have found it a rich source not just for thinking about sex and gender but also language, class, technology, and disability in interwar Britain . I hope that a reread of "The Rainbow" and "Women in Love" will prove similarly rewarding.

  12. Reading about early cancel culture in D.H. Lawrence’s ‘#ladychatterleyslover

    “(Home)…was a word that had had its day. It was somehow cancelled. All the great words, it seemed to Connie, were cancelled for her generation: love, joy, happiness, home, mother, father, husband, all these great, dynamic words were half dead now, and dying from day to day.”

  16. A good teach of Lady Chatterley's Lover today, which offers the only acceptable chance in public forum to ask two questions: "Did you miss the anal sex scene?" and "Do you think of the clitoris as a beak?"

  19. Watching on . I read this classic book back in high school and remember loving it, so I hope the film version will be as good.

  21. Emma Corrin is seemingly in everything these days and I have no complaints. For an actor who booked their first film role in 2017, they are tremendously mature in their craft.
