Chair: Felicity Plunkett Alison MacLeod’s historical novel Tenderness is a powerful recreation of the origins of D. H. Lawrence’s scandalous love story, Lady Chatterley’s Lover. From the author in exile, dying bereft in 1930s France, to the high drama of the obscenity trial, MacLeod’s 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. Event details: Wed 08 Mar, 1:15pm on the East Stage
