Book Doris Lessing Course 2025
Doris Lessing is one of the most important British writers of recent years. Her novels deal with racial and sexual discrimination, war, poverty, political and humanitarian commitment and climate change. She explores the full spectrum of human experience. Born in 1919, just after the First World War, Doris Lessing spent her youth in colonial Southern Africa and witnessed the nefarious effects of the colour bar.
Mistrusting ideologies and debunking stereotypes, she was interested in inter-personal relationships as well as the divisions and contradictions of the self. Her heroines strive towards an ideal of harmony and justice, weaving collective conscience into their personal identities, aiming for comprehension, freedom and growth.
