Abstract (2. Language): 
İlk İngiliz kampüs romanı, Kingsley Amis’in Lucky Jim’ i ilgi çekici akademik bir hiciv veya İngiliz akademik yaşamının saçma kısıtlamalarıyla genel anlamda1950’lerin İngiliz taşra hayatına karşı aşağıdan gelen bir çığlık gibi çeşitli gerekçelerle alkışlanmıştır. Aynı zamanda, roman yanlış anlamalar, çatışmalar ve manipülasyonlar hakkındadır. Romanın karakterleri, kitabın başından sonuna kadar, çeşitli yollarla birbirlerini anlamaya veya kontrol altına almaya çalışmaktadırlar. Profesyonel geleceği konusunda derin kayğı barındıran baş karakter, Jim Dixon kendisinin Profesör Welch’in yanı sıra nevrotik meslektaşı Margaret tarafından istismar edilmesine izin vermektedir. Bu çalışma Jim Dixon’a Welch tarafından dayatılan “Mutlu İngiltere” temalı ve romanın doruk noktasını getiren umum konuşmanın bir başarı veya başarısızlık olduğunu analiz etmeye, veya eğer varsa, bu olayın olumlu bir sonuçlarını bulmaya çalışmaktadır.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Kingsley Amis’s Lucky Jim, the first British campus novel, was acclaimed on several grounds: as an engaging academic satire or a cry from below against the ridiculous confinement of British academic life as well as the British provincial life of 1950s in general. It is about misconceptions, conflicts and manipulations. The characters of the novel, throughout the book, try in various ways to understand each other or put one another in check. Jim Dixon, the central character, who harbors deep anxiety about his professional future, allows himself to be exploited by Professor Welch as well as his neurotic colleague, Margaret. This article attempts to analyze whether Jim Dixon’s public lecture on theme of “Merrie England”, which was imposed on him by Welch and through which the climax of the novel comes, was a success or a failure and, discover, if any, favorable outcomes of this event.
