The Campus Trilogy

David Lodge's three delightfully sophisticated campus novels, now gathered together in one volume, expose the world of academia at its best - and its worst. 

"A trio of dazzling novels in a comic mode that the author has now made completely his own...a cause for celebration."  - The New York Times Book Review

In Changing Places, we meet Philip Swallow, a British lecturer in English at the University of Rummidge, and the flamboyant American Morris Zapp of Euphoric State University, who participate in a professorial exchange program at the close of the tumultuous sixties. Ten years later in Small World, older but not noticeably wiser, they are let loose on the international conference circuit - along with a memorable and somewhat oversexed cast of dozens. And in Nice Work, the leftist feminist Dr Robyn Penrose at Rummidge University is assigned to shadow the director of a local engineering firm, sparking a collision of ideologies and lifestyles that seems unlikely to foster anything other than mutual antipathy.
