Joan Bennett (1896-1986), also known as Joan Frankau and born Aline Frankau, was a Cambridge literary scholar and critic. She was among the "constellation of critics" called by the defence in the Lady Chatterley Trial of D. H. Lawrence. ==Life and career== Bennett was the daughter of London cigar importer Arthur Frankau (1849-1904) and writer Julia Frankau (1859-1916). Though she was known as Joan throughout her life, she was christened Aline.〔Gilbert Frankau, ''Self-Portrait'', Hutchinson 1940 p82〕 She married the Cambridge literary historian Henry Stanley Bennett (1889-1972) in 1920.〔Gilbert Frankau, ''Self-Portrait'', Hutchinson 1940 p234〕 As a don at Girton College, Cambridge, Bennett wrote one of the first critical studies of Virginia Woolf.〔Roden, Frederick S. ''Jewish/Christian/Queer: Crossroads and Identities Queer Interventions'', Ashgate Publishing, 2009 ISBN 0754673758, p. 183〕 As one of the expert witnesses in the Lady Chatterley Trial, she helped counter the arguments of the prosecution by confirming Lawrence's reputation as a novelist, that the work was more than a description of sexual encounters, and that Lawrence's repeated use of ‘four-letter words’ were justified by literary intent.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Lady Chatterley's Lover trial (act. 1960) )〕 It is interesting to note that Bennett's mother had earlier been credited by Mrs Belloc Lowndes with having been "one of the very few to recognise the genius of D. H. Lawrence".〔Mrs Belloc Lowndes, ''The Merry Wives of Westminster'', Macmillan 1946 p62〕
