Aprašymas

Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 1,3, http://www.uni-jena.de/ (Institut für Anglistik und Amerikanistik, Anglistische Literaturwissenschaft), course: Contemporary British Novelists.

David Lodge's "How far can you go?" and "Nice work", 5 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: The aim of this paper is it to find out what happens when the world of academia meets the world of industry, therefore when Robyn Penrose as a lecturer of English Literature meets Victor Wilcox, who is a Managing Director in a factory.

The reader learns a lot about the relationship between Robyn and Victor and about David Lodge's special techniques of writing.
