Cambridge University Press Kangaroo The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D H Lawrence
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.

Cambridge University Press Twilight in Italy and Other Essays The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D H Lawrence
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.

Cambridge University Press The First and Second Lady Chatterley Novels The Cambridge Edition of the Works of D H Lawrence
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..."

Cambridge University Press Jews in Russian Literature After the October Revolution
Book SynopsisThis study shows how four famous Jews writing in Russian in the early Soviet period attempted to resolve the conflict between their cultural identity and their place in Revolutionary Russia.

Cambridge University Press should be commended for reissuing it." --The Russian ReviewTable of ContentsList of illustrations; Preface; 1. Burning embers; 2.
