The Campus Trilogy Summary

The Campus Trilogy by David Lodge

'One of the very best English comic novelists of the post-war era' Time Out

The plot lines of The Campus Trilogy, radiating from its hub at the redbrick University of Rummidge, trace the comic adventures of academics who move outside familiar territory. Beginning in the late 60s Changing Places follows the undistinguished English lecturer Philip Swallow and hotshot American professor Morris Zapp as they exchange jobs, habitats and eventually wives. Small World sees Swallow, Zapp, Persse McGarrigle and the beautiful Angelica Pabst jet-set about the international conference scene, combining academic infighting and tourism, esoteric chat and romance. And finally, the feminist lecturer Robyn Penrose swaps the industrial novel for a hard hat in Nice Work as she shadows the factory boss Victor Wilcox. Sparks fly when their beliefs and lifestyles collide.

The Campus Trilogy Reviews

Lodge's wit... like that of Wodehouse, froths around and out of characters.. hugely enjoyable * Spectator *
Clever enough to confirm him as one of the leading comic writers of his generation * Guardian *
All funny, clever and beautifully paced * Daily Mail *
