Book SynopsisLove Among the Haystacks and Other Stories gathers together all of Lawrence's short stories not collected in the Prussian Officer volume. It offers a range of work from Lawrence's earliest surviving published story, 'A Prelude', to 'New Eve and Old Adam' written at the height of his early maturity in 1913. Each story in this edition appears in a new, authoritative text based on the manuscripts, typescripts, corrected proofs and early printings drawn from libraries and private collections in England, Italy and America. All the stories have thus been stripped of the layers of errors introduced by typists, editors and printers in their previous publication. John Worthen's introduction sets out the composition and publication history of each story, and gives a full account of the context in which it was created. A textual apparatus records all variant readings and explanatory notes explain allusions, dialect forms and foreign words.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Love Among the Haystacks and Other Stories; Appendix I; Appendix II; Appendix III; Appendix IV; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus; A note on pounds, shillings and pence.

Book SynopsisReflections on the Death of a Porcupine and Other Essays contains what Lawrence himself called the 'philosophicalish' essays written in the decade 1915â1925. The essays range from short pieces like 'Love' and 'Life' to the lengthy 'Education of the People'; from the light-hearted 'Climbing Down Pisgah' to the serious meditation 'Resurrection'; from political pieces like 'Democracy' and 'Aristocracy' to poetical essays on nature such as 'Whistling of Birds'. This edition restores what Lawrence himself wrote before typists, editors and compositors made the extensive alterations which have been followed in all previous versions of the texts. Sometimes entire passages, removed by mistake or for reasons of censorship, have been recovered. The introduction describes the genesis, textual history, and reception of the essays; the textual apparatus records variant readings; and the explanatory notes offer help with allusions and other points of difficulty in the texts.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine and Other Essays; Appendix I; Explanatory notes; Textual apparatus; Appendix II; A note on pounds, shillings and pence; Index.

Book SynopsisAn authoritative selection of letters by one of the great English letter-writers, first published in 1997, is also available in paperback.Trade Review'James Boulton has chosen 330 letters from the massive eight-volume Cambridge edition of well over 5,000, making this substantial selection something like a new addition to the Lawrence canon, a book to have on the shelf alongside The Rainbow and Women in Love.' Independent on Sunday'We now have the start of an edition in whose scrupulousness there is good reason to place every confidence: the fundamental work will never have to be done again … Cambridge University Press has cooperated nobly: the book is nice to hold, the pages are very well set out and printed and altogether a pleasure to read. In short a job eminently worth doing has been eminently well done.' English'This invigorating collection … is … a monument to scholarship for which we should be grateful.' D. H.

Book SynopsisThis book is a critical edition of D. H. Lawrence's complete essays about Mexican and Southwestern Indians, both those published in 1927 as Mornings in Mexico, and the other essays Lawrence wrote about them during his American years. The number of essays, therefore, is more than double that of all previous editions. The early version of 'Pan in America' appears here for the first time, as do previously unpublished passages in other essays. The texts are informed by all extant manuscripts, typescripts, and early publications, with a full textual apparatus revealing Lawrence's revisions. The volume includes extensive notes and appendices with information on Mesoamerican mythology and history. Lawrence's interest in and real affection for the region and its peoples went beyond the travel writing genre and these essays hold significance not only for those interested in Lawrence but also in the wider context of the cultures of Mexico and the Southwest.Trade Review'This is a magnificent book! The collection of essays covers almost all that Lawrence was thinking about the importance of the American world between 1922 and 1928 … For all Lawrence readers this is a volume to get, to dip into time and again for a refreshing voice of complete individual seriousness.'

Lawrence's writing on American literature, including landmark essays on Benjamin Franklin, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman. This volume offers the final 1923 version of the text, and a host of related materials.Trade Review'… excellently produced …' The Use of English'… a brilliant and necessary book because it opens up familiar texts, reminding us that the best literary criticism is always in the end both evaluative and engaged.'

Book SynopsisIn his last years D. H. Lawrence often wrote for newspapers; he needed the money, and clearly enjoyed the work. He also wrote several substantial essays during the same period. This meticulously-edited collection brings together major essays such as Pornography and Obscenity and Lawrence's spirited Introduction to the volume of his Paintings; a group of autobiographical pieces, two of which are published here for the first time; and the articles Lawrence wrote at the invitation of newspaper and magazine editors. There are thirty-nine items in total, thirty-five of them deriving from original manuscripts; all were written between 1926 and Lawrence's death in March 1930. They are ordered chronologically according to the date of composition; each is preceded by an account of the circumstances in which it came to be published. The volume is introduced by a substantial survey of Lawrence's career as a writer responding directly to public interests and concerns.Trade Review"...the writings reflect the immense versatility and variation in quality evident throughout Lawrence's productive literary career. Highly Recommended." J.E. Steiner, emerita, Drew University"To read these wonderful essays, and the many other pieces in this volume, is to reacquaint onself with the lyrical and visionary brilliance of Lawrence's art--even when the passion and insight are compressed into the limiting format of a newspaper article."

Book SynopsisQuetzalcoatl was written during Lawrence's first stay in Mexico, in May and June 1923, and registers his initial responses to those aspects of Mexican landscape, religion, politics and culture which would fascinate him over the following two years. On leaving Mexico in July 1923, he described Quetzalcoatl as 'nearly finished', intending to revise it later, but in the event actually rewrote it almost completely, and it was published as The Plumed Serpent in 1926. This is the first scholarly edition of the original manuscripts and typescripts of Quetzalcoatl, and includes a record of all revisions Lawrence made in the course of writing it, detailed explanatory notes and an introduction outlining its compositional history. With the publication of this volume, all Lawrence's novels, in their first, intermediate and final versions, are now available in the Cambridge edition.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue-titles; Introduction; Quetzalcoatl; Appendix I. Deleted MS passage from Chapter III; Appendix II. Deleted MS passage from Chapter VI; Appendix III. Deleted MS passage from Chapter VII; Appendix IV.

Book SynopsisD. H. Lawrence expected The Rainbow to have 'a bit of a fight' before it was accepted, but 'The fight will have to be made, that is all'. It was suppressed, just over a month after publication, in November 1915. The American publisher would make thirteen further cuts and 'dribble out' the book quietly. In 1930 the British government would again consider suppressing a new printing of The Rainbow. Professor Mark Kinkead-Weekes gives the composition history and collates the surviving states of the text to assess the damage done to Lawrence's novel, and to provide a text as close to that which the author wrote as is now possible. The final manuscript, revisions in the typescript and the first edition are recorded in full in the textual apparatus so the reader can follow the novel's development and evaluate what outside interference may have done to it. Also included are explanatory notes to historical references and allusions, and an interior chronology of the book itself.Table of ContentsGeneral editor's preface; Acknowledgements; Chronology; Cue titles; Introduction; The Rainbow; Appendix 1. Fragment of 'The Sisters'; Appendix 2. Fragment of 'The Sisters II'; Appendix 3. Report and letter on 'The Wedding Ring'; Appendix 4.

Book Synopsis One of the most extraordinary literary works of the twentieth century, Lady Chatterley's Lover was banned in England and the United States after its initial publication in 1928. The unexpurgated edition did not appear in America until 1959, after one of the most spectacular legal battles in publishing history.With her soft brown hair, lithe figure and big, wondering eyes, Constance Chatterley is possessed of a certain vitality. Yet she is deeply unhappy; married to an invalid, she is almost as inwardly paralyzed as her husband Clifford is paralyzed below the waist. It is not until she finds refuge in the arms of Mellors the game-keeper, a solitary man of a class apart, that she feels regenerated. Together they move from an outer world of chaos towards an inner world of fulfillment.For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Book SynopsisSOON TO BE A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING THE CROWN’S EMMA CORRIN AND UNBROKEN’S JACK O’CONNELLLyric and sensual, D.H. Lawrence’s last novel is one of the major works of fiction of the twentieth century. Filled with scenes of intimate beauty, it explores the emotions of a lonely woman trapped in a sterile marriage and her growing love for the robust gamekeeper of her husband’s estate. The most controversial of Lawrence’s books, Lady Chatterly’s Lover joyously affirms the author’s vision of individual regeneration through sexual love. The book’s power, complexity, and psychological intricacy make this a completely original work—a triumph of passion, and a celebration of life.

Book SynopsisWidely considered the best novel from one of the best writers of the twentieth century, this astonishing work (The New York Review of Books) continues where The Rainbow left off, revealing a powerful portrayal of two couples dynamically engaged in a struggle with themselves, with each other, and with life’s intractable limitations.          The sisters Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, whom we first met in Lawrence’s novel The Rainbow, here become involved with two close friends: Rupert, an intellectual school inspector; and Gerald, the wealthy heir to a mine owner. The turbulent relationships that result—chronicled with an emotional and sexual frankness that provoked controversy on the book’s publication in 1920—take the characters from an English landscape of coal mines and sooty factories to the snowy heights of the Alps, where tragedy strikes. Women in Love <

Book SynopsisA multi-generational family saga that chronicles the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family on their Nottinghamshire farm—and the riveting prequel to Women in Love—from one of the greatest and most controversial writers of the 20th century. Rooted in an agrarian past, Tom and Lydia Brangwen and their descendants find themselves navigating a rapidly changing world—a world of unprecedented individualism, alienation, and liberation. Banned after an obscenity trial in 1915 for its frankness about sexuality, THE RAINBOW was most remarkable for the pathbreaking journeys of its female characters, particularly that of Ursula Brangwen, whose destiny Lawrence explored further in his next novel, Women in Love.In its surface drama, in its capacious and expansive rhythms that so resemble the rhythms of nature itself, THE RAINBOW is one of the world’s great examples of the multi-generational family saga. But the large claim

Book SynopsisLa obra poética del inglés David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) ha sido poco divulgada ?tanto en el mundo de habla inglesa como en el de habla hispana?, a diferencia de lo ocurrido con el resto de su amplia producción en prosa, especialmente sus relatos y novelas. Su vida y su obra literaria nunca han dejado de ser objeto de polémica, no solo por parte de la sociedad post-victoriana que le tocó vivir, sino también por parte de distintos sectores de la crítica literaria a lo largo de todo el siglo veinte. Los casi mil poemas que componen el variado corpus poético de este incansable viajero y explorador de las relaciones entre el hombre y la mujer modernos revelan, en no pocas ocasiones, a un consumado artífice y maestro de un lenguaje poético propio, dentro del High Modernism en lengua inglesa, poseedor de una sensibilidad artística y una poética distintas a la de otros autores coetáneos, como T. S. Eliot o Ezra Pound.José María Moreno Carrascal (1951), traductor y poeta, ha ejercido la docencia durante muchos años. Su tesis doctoral versó sobre la poesía de D. H. Lawrence. Ha traducido al español importantes poetas en lengua inglesa (Wallace Stevens, Charles Bukowski, V. Nabokov, John Updike, W. S. Merwin, Kay Ryan, o Joyce Carol Oates, entre otros) y es autor de la versión en inglés del libro de viajes de Felipe Benítez Reyes Cuaderno de Ruta (Route Log). Sus poemarios Los jardines de hielo y Los reinos diminutos obtuvieron, respectivamente, el accésit al Segundo Premio de Poesía de la Fundación Ecoem y el XXVII Premio de Poesía Unicaja. Actualmente reside con su esposa e hijo en EE.UU., habiendo trabajado como profesor adjunto en los departamentos de Románicas y Humanidades de la Universidad de Villanova, Pensilvania.

Book SynopsisConstance Chatterley, hija de intelectuales con ideales socialistas y educada en un entorno artístico, contrae matrimonio con Clifford, un joven de clase alta que se encuentra luchando en el frente, aprovechando unos días que éste tiene de permiso. Poco tiempo después, sir Clifford, que ha heredado la casa y el negocio familiares, regresa al hogar parapléjico. Este hecho, que con los años no hará sino exacerbar el carácter ya de por sí frío y cerebral de Clifford, será el detonante para que Constance, rompiendo todas las barreras de clase, mantenga un idilio carnal con el guardabosque de sus tierras, Oliver Mellors. La pasión entre ambos no será únicamente una válvula de escape de todas sus frustraciones vitales, sino también un reino afortunado al margen de todo, especialmente de las diferencias de clase y de otras injusticias (entre las cuales, sin ir más lejos, habría que contar el históricamente ignorado derecho de la mujer al placer).

Book SynopsisLos seis reveladores ensayos recogidos en el presente volumen, compuestos durante el primer tercio del siglo XX, brindan la siempre personalísima visión de su autor sobre cuestiones universales, ya se trate de amar, de vivir la vida con conciencia y plenitud o de conocer y conocerse en el sentido más esencial del término; textos que se adentran sin ambages en el ámbito de la filosofía, la religión y el arte, que a la par plantean su propio abanico de respuestas, iluminan las sendas por las que deambula la confundida humanidad.

Book SynopsisUn volumen inédito en castellano en el que se ofrecen al lector todas las novelas breves escritas por Lawrence.El escritor E. M. Forster, coetáneo y amigo de Lawrence, le consideraba el novelista de su generación más imaginativo. Esta afirmación es más que evidente en las siete novelas cortas que escribió en el transcurso de su vida y que el lector encontrará en este volumen. En El muñeco del capitán, El zorro y La mariquita , publicadas conjuntamente y por primera vez en 1932, Lawrence expresa su punto de vista sobre el poder y el liderazgo del mundo tras la Primera Guerra Mundial. La virgen y el gitano y La princesa son dos hermosas historias muy bien trazadas, mientras que en St Mawr , situada en Nuevo México, y El gallo escapado , una extraordinaria reescritura de la resurrección de Jesucristo, el autor evoca la riqueza y profundidad del símbolo. La edición que el lector tiene en sus manos ha sido revisada y corregida a la luz de las versiones publicadas por Cambridge University Press en 1983, 1992 y 2005. Es un intoxicador... Ha existido nunca alguien tan capaz como él de dar vida a gentes y lugares de forma tan intensa? Doris Lessing

Book SynopsisEl arco iris (1915) de D. H. Lawrence ?que presentamos por primera vez íntegra en español, en nuevatraducción de Catalina Martínez Muñoz cuenta la historia de una familia a lo largo de tres generaciones, desde la década de 1840 hasta 1905, y describe el paso de una sociedad rural a una urbana e industrial con una sensibilidad en su día completamente nueva, y aún hoy enormemente original y sorprendente.Prohibida en su día por obscena, ilustra con vigor estas palabras de D. H. Lawrence: En cierto modo, lo que es físico no humano en la humanidad me interesa más que el elemento humano de otro tiempo, que lo obliga a uno a concebir un personaje dentro de un plan moral y hacerlo coherente con él. A ese plan moral es a lo que yo me opongo.

Book SynopsisEncuadernación: RústicaTácito fue el primer gran escritor en mencionar Londres y, desde entonces, muchos otros grandes creadores nos han dejado sus impresiones de la ciudad. En este libro Dostoyevski y Boswell nos acompañan por los bajos fondos londinenses, mientras que Dickens, De Amicis, London o Kipling nos hacen de guías y nos dan consejos para manejarnos en la capital de Inglaterra. Otros, como Beda el Venerable, John Evelyn o Samuel Pepys nos cuentan cómo la ciudad superó pestes, incendios e invasiones, mientras que Soseki, Rimbaud o Verlaine ilustran que no es fácil vivir en Londres si no se dispone de dinero. Jane Austen, Mark Twain o Charlotte Brontë son sólo algunos más de los muchos autores que contribuyen a esta guía, que cuenta también con deliciosos grabados que permiten al lector ver lo que es y también lo que fue.Imprescindible como complemento a una guía tradicional, la Guía literaria de Londres nos permite disfrutar de un triple viaje: en el espacio, hacia los monumentos londinenses; en el tiempo, hacia otras épocas y sensibilidades; y en el espíritu, hacia algunas de las mentes más creativas, divertidas y magníficas que ha dado la Literatura universal.
