Event overview
Author Fred Inglis reflects on his newly published biography of Goldsmiths legend, Richard Hoggart.
As part of the Richard Hoggart lecture series, author Fred Inglis will reflect on his newly published biography of Goldsmiths legend, Richard
Hoggart.
Titled ‘Richard Hoggart and the Condition of England’, the memorial lecture will include a discussion with Richard Hoggart’s son, journalist Paul Hoggart.
Richard Hoggart: Virtue and Reward is the first biography of Hoggart, who was the warden of Goldsmiths between 1976 and 1984. Richard Hoggart has been perhaps the best-known, and certainly the most affectionately acknowledged, British intellectual of the past sixty years. His great classic, The Uses of Literacy, provided thousands of unsung working-class readers with a wholly recognisable and tender account of their own coming-to-maturity and of the preciousness and the hardships of the life of the poor in pre-World War II Britain.
Following the lecture there will be refreshments and an opportunity to purchase the book.
The Richard Hoggart Lectures are organised by the Department of English and Comparative Literature to bring writers of international reputation and leading critics to Goldsmiths.
The event is free and open to all but registrations is required. Visit http://www.hoggartlecture.eventbrite.com to register.
