This two-day conference addressed Lawrence’s response to – and influence upon – regional, national and international writers, and the various regional, national and international contexts which shaped his work.

Speakers were:

  • Fiona Becket (University of Leeds)
  • Howard J. Booth (University of Manchester)
  • Bethan Jones (University of Hull)
  • Neil Roberts (University of Sheffield)
  • Keith Sagar (University of Nottingham)

Subjects covered included reassessments of Lawrence’s relationship to his Nottinghamshire roots, to England, and to Italy and New Mexico; revisionist work on his engagement with psychoanalysis and the contemporary media; and important new explorations of his writings in the contexts of English radicalism and green cultural critique.
