Susan Lever on A.D. Hope

Join us for an enlightening talk as Susan Lever, a distinguished literary critic and editor, delves into the fascinating life of A.D. Hope. Born into a devout family, hope's journey took him from regular church services to atheism, significantly shaping his poetic voice.

This discussion will explore how Hope's evolving views on religion impacted his work—from sharp anticlerical satires in the 1940s to a quest for secular harmony in the 1950s and 1960s that celebrated creativity and love. Lever, whose contributions to Australian literature have been widely recognized, will share insights from her biography, A.D. Hope: A Life, and her extensive scholarship in this field.
