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. An introduction. David Lodge's "How far can you go?" and "Nice work", 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. This clash of values causes quite a lot of personal and public conflicts, problems and obstacles for Robyn and Victor. But they try to get on with each other as well as they can. And although these two people are so different, they find each other in the end.In my paper I will also pay special attention to the use of irony according to the theme of the "Romantic Quest", because I think that this is quite an interessting topic to write about. The reader learns a lot about the relationship between Robyn and Victor and about David Lodge's special techniques of writing.[...]
