Books by D H Lawrence

Book SynopsisWomen in Love is D.H Lawrence’s sequel to The Rainbow, and is widely considered by critics to be Lawrence’s best novel. It tells the story of the young Brangwen sisters and their struggles with relationships and power during the time leading up to the first world war. Though controversial for its depictions of sexuality and the destructive power of some relationships, Women in Love is considered one of the best examples of twentieth century English literature ever written.

Book Synopsis"El ensayo titulado La Corona es, con mucho, lo mejor que ha escrito Lawrence. En cierto sentido, lamento no haberlo leído antes; podría haberme evitado muchas horas de trabajo. Por otra parte, ha sido magnífico avanzar a través de estas páginas y hallar las respuestas que presenta a todos los enigmas, expuestas de una manera admirable. Fue escrito en 1915, el mismo año que Arco Iris . Es una profecía y un juicio sobre la humanidad. El lenguaje es incomparable: recuerda lo mejor de la Biblia . Su pensamiento es superior a cualquiera de las parábolas de Jesús, en mi opinión. Es como una nueva Revelación. Está basado en Spengler, aunque Lawrence tal vez no lo haya conocido. Y va más allá de las hipótesis de Spengler. Es la concepción del proceso de la vida elaborada por un verdadero artista. Por momentos resulta difícil, pero nunca carece de claridad. Podría haber acunado al mundo pero, ay!, quién, aparte de unos pocos elegidos, ha oído hablar de La Corona ? La semilla de todos los escritos de Lawrence está allí y algo más que una simple semilla. Es el místico en medio de su éxtasis más arrebatador. Estoy enamorado de ese texto." Henry Miller Cartas a Anaïs Nin

Book SynopsisSketches of Etruscan Places contains seven essays D. H. Lawrence wrote in 1927 after visiting several Etruscan cities in central Italy. Six were published posthumously in 1932 as Etruscan Places; 'The Florence Museum' is published for the first time here. Some appeared in magazines in Lawrence's lifetime, but he expressed a wish that they be published in a volume with the photographs he had collected; in fact, only twenty of the forty-five illustrations here reproduced with Lawrence's own captions were included in 1932. Eight essays about Florence and the Tuscan countryside form the second part of this volume. The texts have been established by checking manuscripts, typescripts, proofs and periodical and book publications. The introduction gives the genesis, publication, textual history and reception of the essays.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Sketches of Etruscan Places; Italian Essays; Appendixes; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus.

Book SynopsisMovements in European History was written by D. H. Lawrence during 1918 and 1919 in response to Oxford University Press's invitation to prepare a textbook for schools. It is a vivid sketch of European history from ancient Rome to the early twentieth century, remaining significant in the canon of Lawrence's work as the only school textbook he ever wrote. Crumpton's introduction describes the genesis, publication and reception of the book, gives an account of the little-known Irish edition of 1926 which suffered much censorship, and identifies and analyses Lawrence's methods of using the source-books on which his writing was based. This edition uses the surviving manuscript to present a text as close to that which Lawrence wrote and corrected in proof as is now possible.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Movements in European History; Maps; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus; Appendixes; A note on pounds, shilling and pence; Index.

Book SynopsisApocalypse is D. H. Lawrence's last book, written during the winter of 1929â30 when he was dying. It is a radical criticism of our civilisation and a statement of Lawrence's unwavering belief in man's power to create 'a new heaven and a new earth'. Ranging over the entire system of his thought on God and man, on religion, art, psychology and politics, this book is Lawrence's final attempt to convey his vision of man and the universe. Apocalypse was published after Lawrence's death, and in a highly inaccurate text. This edition is the first to reproduce accurately Lawrence's final corrected text on the basis of a thorough examination of the surviving manuscript and typescript. In the introduction the editor has discussed the writing of Apocalypse and its place in Lawrence's works, its publication and reception, and the significance of Lawrence's other writings on the Book of Revelation.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; The Texts: A Review of The Book of Revelation by Dr John Oman; Introduction to The Dragon of the Apocalypse by Frederick Carter; Apocalypse; Appendixes; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus.

Book SynopsisKangaroo is D. H. Lawrence's eighth novel, set in Australia. He wrote the first draft in just forty-five days while living south of Sydney, in 1922, and revised it three months later in New Mexico. The descriptions of the country are vivid and sympathetic and the book fuses lightly disguised autobiography with an exploration of political ideas at an immensely personal level. Based on a collation of the manuscript, typescripts and first editions, this text of Kangaroo is closest to what Lawrence would have expected to see in print. There is a full textual apparatus of variants, a comprehensive introduction giving the background and history of composition and publication and a summary of contemporary reviewers' opinions. Explanatory notes elucidate the many geographical, political and literary allusions in the text; there are three maps and an appendix detailing Australian locations.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Kangaroo; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus; Appendix; A note on pounds, shillings and pence.

Book SynopsisD. H. Lawrence left England for the first time in May 1912, and began almost immediately to record his reactions to foreign cultures. He wrote a series of travel articles intended for newspapers, two of which are published here for the first time after having been rejected as too anti-German in the tense pre-war atmosphere. In 1915 he amplified some of these essays and wrote others for Twilight in Italy (1916), his first travel book. Profoundly charged by the disorienting anxieties of the War, these essays evince a confidence and intellectual daring which take them well beyond the bounds of the conventional travel sketch. All are published in this first critical edition of his 1912-16 essays, together with his eerily prophetic article, 'With the Guns', written upon the outbreak of war in 1914.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Twilight in Italy and Other Essays; Essays of Germany and Tyrol; Italian Essays, 1913 and 'With the Guns' 1914; Twilight in Italy [Italian days]; Appendixes; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus; A note on currencies.

Book SynopsisD. H. Lawrence wrote his last novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, three times in 1926â7, and it is the third version that has become famous. The three versions are in fact three different novels, varying greatly in length, a significant number of episodes, and even some of the main characters. This 1999 book contains a critical edition of the two early versions of the novel: the first in some ways the most realistic and spontaneous version, the second the longest and to many readers and critics the most successful version. The text is printed from its manuscript source, including numerous, sometimes extensive deletions and variations from the first printed editions. An introduction traces the genesis of the novel and gives an account of its publication and reception. There are also notes, explaining literary, historical and geographical names and allusions, and particular problems of manuscript transmission.Trade Review"Cambridge University Press has achieved another major success in its definitive editions of the prolific work of D. H. Lawrence, with the publication of The First and Second Lady Chatterley Novels, edited by Dieter Mehl and Christa Jansohn...this handsome single volume will encourage Lawrence enthusiasts to ponder compelling comparisons between these early versions and perhaps to speculate further on the relevant development of Lawrence's life, art, and doctrine through all three examples of a project that became for him a consuming and palimpsestic saga. The Cambridge publication of the earlier versions no doubt offers an important resource..." English Literature in Transition 1880-1920Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; The First and Second Lady Chatterley Novels; Appendix; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus; A note on pounds, shillings and pence.

Book SynopsisD. H. Lawrence's 'Study of Thomas Hardy', written in the early months of World War I, was originally intended to be a short critical work on Hardy's characters, but developed into a major statement of Lawrence's philosophy of art. The introduction to this work shows its relation to Lawrence's final rewriting of The Rainbow and its place among his continual attempts to express his philosophy in a definitive form. Previously published posthumously from a corrupt typescript, the 'Study' is now more firmly based on Koteliansky's typescript - Lawrence having destroyed the manuscript. The other essays in this volume span virtually the whole of Lawrence's writing career, from 'Art and the Individual' (1908) to his last essay 'John Galsworthy', written in 1927. The introduction sets these essays in the context of Lawrence's life and work. The textual apparatus gives variant readings, and explanatory notes identify references and quotations, and offer background information.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Study of Hardy and Other Essays; Appendixes; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus.
