D.H. Lawrence Books Overview

The Rainbow

D. 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’. He started ‘The Sisters’ in March 1913, wrote four different versions and claimed to have discarded ‘quite a thousand pages’ before completing The Rainbow in May 1915. His literary mentor Edward Garnett was critical of the second version; Methuen acccepted the third version in 1914, only to return it when war was declared. Lawrence rewrote yet again, dividing the book into two the second part would become Women in Love, but even while he revised the typescript, he realised that Methuen would object to sections and agreed to ‘take out sentences and phrases’, but not ‘paragraphs or pages’. Nevertheless The Rainbow 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 as*sess the damage done to Lawrence’s great 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 development of the novel 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 Also included are Explanatory notes to historical references and allusions, and an interior chronology of the book itself.

The First Women in Love

Women in Love, by D. H. Lawrence, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: New introductions commissioned from today’s top writers and scholars Biographies of the authors Chronologies of contemporary historical, biographical, and cultural events Footnotes and endnotes Selective discussions of imitations, parodies, poems, books, plays, paintings, operas, statuary, and films inspired by the work Comments by other famous authors Study questions to challenge the reader’s viewpoints and expectations Bibliographies for further reading Indices & Glossaries, when appropriateAll editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader’s understanding of these enduring works. One of the most versatile and influential figures in twentieth century literature, D. H. Lawrence was a master craftsman and profound thinker whose celebration of sexuality in an over intellectualized world opened the door to that topic for countless writers after him. Perhaps his finest novel, Women in Love 1920 continues the story of two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, who first appeared in Lawrence’s novel The Rainbow 1915. The story contrasts the passionate love affairs of Ursula and Rupert Birkin, a character often seen as a self portrait of Lawrence, with that of Gudrun and Gerald Crich, an icily handsome mining industrialist. Birkin, an introspective misanthrope, struggles to reconcile his metaphysical drive for self fulfillment with Ursula s practical view of sentimental passion. As they fight their way through to a mutually satisfying relationship and eventual marriage Gudrun and Crich s sadomaso*chistic love affair careens toward a disastrous conclusion. A dark, disturbing, yet beautiful exploration of love in an increasingly violent and destructive world, Women in Love nevertheless holds out the hope of individual and collective rebirth through human intensity and passion. Norman Loftis is a poet, novelist, essayist, philosopher, and filmmaker. His works include Exiles and Voyages poetry, 1969, Black Anima poetry, 1973, Life Force novel, 1982, From Barbarism to Decadence 1984, and Condition Zero 1993. His feature films include Schaman 1984, the award winning Small Time 1989, and Messenger 1995.

The White Peacock

David Herbert Richards Lawrence 1885 1930 was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, translations, literary criticism, and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and human instinct. Lawrence’s opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his ‘savage pilgrimage’. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as ‘the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation’. Lawrence is perhaps best known for his novels Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Within these he explores the possibilities for life and living within an Industrial setting. His other works include: The White Peacock 1911, The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd 1914, The Lost Girl 1920, St. Mawr 1925, The Man Who Died 1931 and The Fight for Barbara 1933.

Originally it was entitled the Saga of Siegmund and drew upon the experiences of a friend of Lawrence, Helen Corke, and her adulterous relationship with a married man that ended with his suicide. David Herbert Richards Lawrence 1885 1930 was a very important and controversial English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters.

In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and instinctive behaviour. Lawrence’s unsettling opinions earned him many enemies and he endured hardships, official persecution, censorship and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his ‘savage pilgrimage.’ He is now generally valued as a visionary thinker and a significant representative of modernism in English literature.

Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader’s understanding of these enduring works. Called the most widely read English novel of the twentieth century, D. H. Lawrence‘s largely autobiographical Sons and Lovers tells the story of Paul Morel, a young artist growing into manhood in a British working class community near the Nottingham coalfields. His mother Gertrude, unhappily married to Paul s hard drinking father, devotes all her energies to her son. They develop a powerful and passionate relationship, but eventually tensions arise when Paul falls in love with a girl and seeks to escape his family ties. Torn between his desire for independence and his abiding attachment to his loving but overbearing mother, Paul struggles to define himself sexually and emotionally through his relationships with two women the innocent, old fashioned Miriam Leivers, and the experienced, provocatively modern Clara Dawes.

Heralding Lawrence s mature period, Sons and Lovers vividly evokes the all consuming nature of possessive love and sexual attraction. Lushly descriptive and deeply emotional, it is rich in universal truths about human relationships.

The Ladybird

Writer Richard Somers and his wife Harriet leave exhausted post war Europe in the hope of rebuilding their marriage in a new and freer world.

Chapter 10, The Nightmare, describes his war time confrontations with authority in Cornwall and his humiliating examination for service. The novel’s protagonist, like Lawrence, was rejected as ‘unfit’. Kangaroo is one of the best travel books ever written, with ‘unforgettable vivid and accurate pictures of the Australian continent, in which no other English writer has approached Lawrence.’ The Bookseller ‘..a portrait of D. H. Lawrence and Frieda during their stay in Australia, a segment of his life and work without which the whole man cannot be seen in full proportion.’ The Bookseller

Appendices include maps, an outline history of the colony and two of Lawrence’s essays about the collaboration, one of which appears here for the first time in English.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover

Lady Chatterley’s Lover, by D. H. Lawrence, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader’s understanding of these enduring works. The last, and most famous, of D. H. Lawrence’s novels, Lady Chatterley s Lover was published in 1928 and banned in England and the United States as po*rnographic. While sexually tame by today s standards, the book is memorable for better reasons Lawrence s masterful and lyrical prose, and a vibrant story that takes us bodily into the world of its characters. As the novel opens, Constance Chatterley finds herself trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to a rich aristocrat whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent. After a brief but unsatisfying affair with a playwright, Lady Chatterley enjoys an extremely passionate relationship with the gamekeeper on the family estate, Oliver Mellors. As Lady Chatterley falls in love and conceives a child with Mellors, she moves from the heartless, bloodless world of the intelligentsia and aristocracy into a vital and profound connection rooted in sexual fulfillment. Through this novel, Lawrence attempted to revive in the human consciousness an awareness of savage sensuality, a sensuality with the power to free men and women from the enslaving sterility of modern technology and intellectualism. Perhaps even more relevant today than when it first appeared, Lady Chatterley s Lover is a triumph of passion and an erotic celebration of life.

The Virgin and the Gipsy

Her father, the minister, taught her about God, but it was the gypsy who taught her about love. Set in a small village in the English countryside, this is the story of a secluded, sensitive rector’s daughter who yearns for meaning beyond the life to which she seems doomed. When she meets a handsome young gipsy whose life appears different from hers in every way, she is immediately smitten and yet still paralyzed by her own fear and social convention. Not until a natural catastrophe suddenly, miraculously sweeps away the world as she knew it does a new world of passion open for her. Recognized as a masterpiece in which D. H. Lawrence had distilled and purified his ideas about sexuality and morality, The Virgin and the Gipsy has become a classic and is one of Lawrence’s most electrifying short novels a dazzling, first rate novel that will enchant all lovers of the story telling art, by the author of Lady Chatterley’s Lover. With its verbal precision, its remarkable insight into complex personal relationships, and with vivid awareness of the physical world, this short novel provides an excellent introduction to D.H. Lawrence’s fiction. Lawrence’s spirit is infused by all his tenderness, passion, and knowledge of the human soul. The book was written during the last months of 1925 after the Lawrences had returned from Europe from the Taos ranch for the last time.

John Thomas and Lady Jane

The second version of ‘Lady Chatterley’s Lover’. It is in many ways quite different from the first and last: both in the personalities of Parkin, the gamekeeper later called Mellors and Connie Chatterley, and in the development of the love story.

We Need One Another

David Herbert Richards Lawrence 1885 1930 was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, translations, literary criticism, and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and human instinct. Lawrence’s opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his ‘savage pilgrimage’. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as ‘the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation’. Lawrence is perhaps best known for his novels Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Within these he explores the possibilities for life and living within an Industrial setting. His other works include: The White Peacock 1911, The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd 1914, The Lost Girl 1920, St. Mawr 1925, The Man Who Died 1931 and The Fight for Barbara 1933.

Mr. Noon

Mr Noon is a sardonic tale about the amorous adventures of Gilbert Noon, a young schoolmaster in Lawrence’s home county of Nottinghamshire who gets entangled with a girl, loses his job, and decides to leave the country to escape the narrow provincial middle class morality. It was first known as a long story posthumously published in A Modern Lover 1934 and collected in the volume called Phoenix II 1968. Lawrence in fact wrote a long continuation of the novel, but the manuscript disappeared for many years. The Cambridge edition brought the two parts together for the first time. It is like a sequel to Sons and Lovers, but much more straightforwardly autobiographical. The publication of the complete work added a new work of major importance to the canon of a great writer, and was widely hailed as a major literary event.

Paul Morel

Full of powerful, spontaneous, dramatic writing, this early version of D. H. Lawrence’s popular autobiographical novel Sons and Lovers contains more humor, charm, raw violence, and nervous energy than its finalized counterpart. It contains many discarded episodes, some of them stories from Lawrence’s childhood that are not recorded anywhere else. This volume also includes documents written by Lawrence’s girlfriend Jessie Chambers-the model for Miriam-in which she gives Lawrence hostile criticisms and writes out her own versions of some episodes. A fragment of a novel about Lawrence’s mother’s childhood, facsimiles of manuscript pages, maps, and scholarly notes are also provided.

England, My England

The fourteen short stories collected in this volume were written between 1913 and 1921, most of them against the background of the 1914 18 War. All but one were published in slightly different versions by magazines and periodicals on both sides of the Atlantic. Ten were selected and revised by Lawrence for his collection England, My England published in 1922 in the United States and 1924 in Britain. Some of the stories included in this volume are ‘Tickets Please’, ‘The Blind Man’, ‘Monkey Nuts’, ‘Wintry Peacock’, ‘Hadrian’, ‘Samson and Delilah’, ‘The Primrose Path’, ‘The Horse Dealer’s Daughter’, and ‘The Last Straw’. The texts aim to recover Lawrence’s own intentions, which editors and publishers all too frequently ignored or altered. Where possible manuscripts and corrected typescripts are used as base texts. The introduction traces the composition and revision of the stories, setting them in the context of Lawrence’s life and work. The textual apparatus gives variant readings, and explanatory notes identify sources, references and quotations. The 1915 version of ‘England, My England‘ is given in an appendix.

The Woman Who Rode Away and Other Stories

The thirteen short stories in this volume were written between 1924 and 1928, and are set in Europe and America. Eleven were collected in The Woman Who Rode Away 1928, though ‘The Man Who Loved Islands’ appeared in the American edition only and the other two in The Lovely Lady 1933. An unpublished fragment ‘A Pure Witch’ is also included here. The stories reflect Lawrence’s experiences in New Mexico, Mexico, Italy, Germany and England in the post war period. Many were considerably revised by Lawrence after he first wrote them; some were completely rewritten and subsequently published in different versions. The editors give composition histories and discuss publication difficulties, including Compton Mackenzie’s objections to ‘The Man Who Loved Islands’. Appendices record manuscript revisions for three stories and give complete, unpublished early versions of four. Explanatory notes elucidate literary allusions and give topographical and biographical information.

The Woman Who Rode Away

D.H. Lawrence 1885 1930 made a contribution to poetry that, in the words of Lousie Bogan, ‘can now be recognized as one of the most important, in any language, of our time.’ Birds, Beasts, and Flowers!, his first great experiment in free verse, was published when he was thirty eight. This Black Sparrow edition re sets the text in the format of the first edition New York: Thomas Seltzer, 1923 and restores several ‘indecent’ lines suppressed by the original publisher. Lawrence’s original jacket artwork is reproduced on the jacket in full color. Many of these individual poems are popular in anthologies they are best read, however, in the context and continuum of the whole book. In preparing the original collection for publication, Lawrence grouped the poems in a purposeful sequence and prefaced many of the subsections with brief quotations from the third edition of John Burnet’s Early Greek Philosophy, which particularly interested him at the time.

St. Mawr/The Man Who Died

These two brilliant novels are deservedly among Lawrence’s most popular works. Both are at the same time exciting narratives and striking expressions of Lawrence’s philosophy. St. Mawr is the story of a splendid stallion in whose vitality the hero*ine finds the quality that is lacking in the men she knows. It is also the first of Lawrence’s writing to be partially set in America, on a ranch in Arizona. The Man Who Died, originally published in Paris as ‘The Escaped Co*ck’ and later retitled and revised, has as its main character Christ, who does not die on the cross but escapes to wander through the country seeking the meaning of human existence, which he finally discovers in a temple of Isis by the waters of Lebanon.

Pansies

D. H. Lawrence’s best known collection of poems. The title does not refer to flowers, but is derived from the French pensees, meaning thoughts thoughts which, according to Lawrence in his introduction, come ‘as much from the heart and the genitals as from the head.’ In the foreword D. H. Lawrence writes: ‘I wish these ‘Pansies‘ to be taken as thoughts rather than anything else; casual thoughts that are true while they are true and irrelevant when the mood and circumstance changes. I should like them to be as fleeting as Pansies, which wilt so soon, and are so fascinating with their varied faces, while they last.’

The Virgin and the Gipsy & Other Stories

With an Introduction and Notes by Jeff Wallace, University of Glamorgan These stories of myth and resurrection, of uncanny events and violent impulse, were with one exception written and published in the latter half of the 1920s, coinciding with the composition of Lawrence’s controversial masterpiece Lady Chatterley’s Lover. At this time Lawrence declared himself to be ‘really awful sick of writing’; yet here we find some of his most beautiful, hauntingly melancholy fictions. In struggling to escape from their thwarted lives and to achieve human ‘tenderness’, the characters embody and continue the major preoccupations of Lawrence’s work as a whole. ‘Love Among the Haystacks’ provides an early illustration of the intensity and innovation which made Lawrence one of the most distinctive and important of twentieth century writers.

‘Love Among the Haystacks’ and Other Stories

Love 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.

Last Poems

All of Lawrence’s Last Poems collected in one volume.

A Modern Lover and Other Stories

CONTENTS A Modern Lover The Old Adam Her Turn Strike Pay The Witch ? la Mode New Eve and Old Adam

The Lovely Lady

This volume of seven stories includes the last fiction that D. H. Lawrence wrote. It is in his most mellow vein, and several of the stories at least should rank among his shorter masterpieces. The Rocking Horse Winner is an amazing and uncanny study of childhood, with a feverish psychological twist that leaves the reader gasping; Rawdon’s Roof gives the character of a man afraid of women; the title story and Mother and Daughter pursue one of Lawrence s favorite themes, the sinister conflict between parent and child. The others are chiefly domestic dramas sketches or character studies affording the author a new chance for his brilliant attack on the shortcomings of modern life.

The Portable D.H. Lawrence

EIGHT STORIES AND NOVELETTES, INCLUDING ‘THE PRUSSIAN OFFICER’, ‘THE ROCKING HORSE WINNER’, AND ‘THE FOX’. SELF CONTAINED SECTIONS FROM ‘THE RAINBOW’ AND ‘WOMEN IN LOVE’, POEMS, TRAVEL WRITINGS, LETTERS, ESSAYS, CRITICISM.

Selected Poems

Lawrence wrote nearly 1,000 poems during a short lifetime in which he was also astonishingly prolific in other spheres fiction, travel writing, essays, criticism, letters and plays. Lawrence was not simply a novelist who dabbled in other forms. His characteristic vision informed everything he wrote, especially his poetry. At three important phases of his life, it became the primary channel of his experience and creative energy the first year of his relationship with Frieda, the two years in Sicily, and the last year of his life. Bringing together the best of his poetry, this volume demonstrates that ‘Lawrence is a great poet in every sense including the technical the form is the perfect incarnation of the content, the perfect vehicle for the liveliness of thought and feeling, the freshness, and depth of perception, the wit and wisdom he has to offer.’

The Complete Short Stories, Vol 3

David Herbert Lawrence was the son of a coal miner and a mother from a family with middle class aspirations. He was a poet, novelist, travel writer, playwright, art critic as well as one of the most consumate short story writers of the twentiethcentury. For the first time, all of Lawrence’s sixty seven short stories arecollected in a single volume. The settings range from the scenes of his Nottinghamshire boyhood and his teaching years to the world of his travels, but the stories always encompass the eternal in the particular. It was Lawrence s genius to mirror the joy of life and human sexuality in the small scenes of everyday living. This volume contains such stories as, The Prussian Officer , Odour of Chrysanthemums and The Woman Who Rode Away as well as many lesser known works. They are arranged in order of writing so the development of Lawrence s life and creativity can be followed.

The Complete Poems

Lawrence’s reputation as a novelist has often meant that his achievements in poetry have failed to receive the recognition they deserve. This edition brings together, in a form he himself sanctioned, his Collected Poems of 1928, the unexpurgated version of Pansies, and Nettles, adding to these volumes the contents of the two notebooks in which he was still writing poetry when he died in 1930. It therefore allows the reader to trace the development of Lawrence as a poet and appreciate the remarkable originality and distinctiveness of his achievement. Not all the poems reprinted here are masterpieces but there is more than enough quality to confirm Lawrence’s status as one of the greatest English writers of the twentieth century.

Selected Stories by D.H. Lawrence

This selection of short stories not only offers a representative and wide ranging selection of Lawrence’s work, but also traces a pattern of development in the author’s career.

Selected Stories

Lawrence was one of the great short story writers of the 20th century. This new collection of ten stories shows the variety of Lawrence’s achievement. The works develop from early realism towards myth and fairy tale, murder, and ghost stories.

Phoenix 1

This first complete edition of Lawrence’s plays contains eight full length plays and two fragments. Six of the plays, written between 1909 and 1913, are arguably among Lawrence’s finest early work. Yet Lawrence never saw a play of his own on the stage. Only two were performed in his lifetime, and only three published. Since then, the plays have existed only in faulty or incomplete texts; this edition, drawn from Lawrence’s manuscripts, makes it possible for the first time to read and to stage Lawrence’s plays as he wrote them.

The Selected Works

This selection of Lawrence’s work underlines the intensity and innovation that made him one of the most distinctive and important of twentieth century writers. Sons and Lovers semi autobiographical, is a powerful exploration of family, class, sexuality and the suffocating relationships of a man with a demanding mother and two very different lovers. Women in Love perhaps Lawrence’s most mature novel, was met with disgust by the critics, seeing only a sorry tale of sexual depravity in the love of the sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, for Rupert and Gerald. Lady Chatterley’s Lover Lawrence’s novel, written in poetic and sexually explicit language, deals with the passionate relationship between Lady Constance Chatterley and Oliver Mellors, her emotionally and physically crippled husband’s forthright and powerfully masculine gamekeeper.
A watershed in twentieth century literary fiction, its sensational content has earned the novel an enduring readership and notoriety.
Other stories featured in this volume include The Captain’s Doll, The Fox, The Ladybird, St Mawr, The Princess, The Virgin and the Gypsy and The Escaped Co*ck.

Three Plays

‘A Collier’s Night’ was written in 1909. ‘The Daughter in Law’ and ‘The Widowing Mrs Holroyd’ followed in 1911 and are examples of Lawrence’s aim to portray working class life by taking ordinary situations and characters and using everyday speech.

St Mawr and Other Stories

St Mawr and Other Stories consists of the long novella St Mawr, two short stories ‘The Overtone’ and ‘The Princess’, and two unfinished stories ‘The Wilful Woman’ and ‘The Flying Fish’, all written during D. H. Lawrence’s stay on the American continent between 1922 and 1925. The texts are newly edited from Lawrence’s original manuscripts and typescripts, eliminating mistranscriptions and unauthorised alterations made by publishers and printers for reasons of housestyling, fear of prosecution or moral censoriousness. In some cases whole lines of text, which have been omitted in the first and subsequent editions, have been restored. The textual apparatus records all variants. The introduction uses unpublished material to trace the genesis and reception of each work. The notes give the translation of foreign words, the explanation of classical, biblical, literary and historical references and the reasoning behind some of the more involved textual cruces.

The Complete Short Novels

Published in one volume, together with ‘The Ladybird’ in 1923, these three short novels reveal Lawrence exploring the new form, developing its potential and using it, above all, to advance his ideas on leadership and male supremacy. The four novellas that followed, including ‘The Virgin and The Gypsy’ and ‘The Princess’, achieve a far greater beauty and vitality, and in ‘St Mawr’, set in New Mexico, and ‘The Escaped Co*ck’ an extraordinary reworking of the story of Christ’s resurrection, Lawrence brings to the short novel the richness and resonance of myth.

The Widowing Of Mrs Holroyd; &, The Daughter In Law

David Herbert Richards Lawrence 1885 1930 was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, translations, literary criticism, and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and human instinct. Lawrence’s opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his ‘savage pilgrimage’. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as ‘the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation’. Lawrence is perhaps best known for his novels Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Within these he explores the possibilities for life and living within an Industrial setting. His other works include: The White Peacock 1911, The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd 1914, The Lost Girl 1920, St. Mawr 1925, The Man Who Died 1931 and The Fight for Barbara 1933.

Selected Poetry and Non-Fictional Prose

This selected edition of Lawrence’s poems and non fictional prose provides a comprehensive view of Lawrence’s development as a poet and of his views of poetry. It ranges from early poems exploring his complex feelings towards his family, through love poems and the sequence about birds, beasts, and flowers, to the poems in which he confronts his own imminent death. The prose includes letters to friends explaining his views on metre and rhythm, and critical essays on poets who were important to him, such as Walt Whitman. The collection aims to demonstrate the achievements of Lawrence as a poet, playwright, and social and literary critic, as well as a novelist. This book should be of interest to students of English literature at all levels.

The Early Philosophical Works

This second volume of Michael Black’s commentary on Lawrence’s prose works concentrates on the extraordinary sequence of nonfiction texts written between 1913 and 1917: The ‘Foreword’ to Sons and Lovers, Study of Thomas Hardy, Twilight in Italy, ‘The Crown,’ ‘The Reality of Peace.’ In all of them Lawrence was compulsively rewriting what he called ‘my philosophy.’ They are difficult works: highly metaphorical, in places prophetically expressionist, even surreal. This extended commentary makes sense of them, treating them as a succession of experimental writings that support each other, develop non discursive modes of writing, and are linked by shared metaphors that reveal shared preoccupations. Black’s highly useful analysis is like the close reading of poetry.

Snake and Other Poems

Best known as the author of Lady Chatterley’s Lover and Women In Love, D.H. Lawrence also wrote a good deal of fine poetry in which he used words in a richly textured way to express deep emotion. In addition to the celebrated title poem, this exceptional collection includes such memorable poems as ‘A Collier s Wife,’ ‘Meeting Among The Mountains,’ ‘Monologue Of A Mother,’ ‘The Sea,’ ‘Humiliation,’ ‘Fireflies In The Corn,’ ‘New Heaven And Earth,’ and many more.

Ten D.H. Lawrence Short Stories

Selected by Andrew Whittle and Roy Blatchford School life, family argument, passion, love and broken love these subjects lie at the heart of this selection of short stories. Stories include: Adolf; Rex; A Prelude; Lessford’s Rabbits; A Lesson on a Tortoise; The Shades of Spring; Second Best; Her Turn; Tickets Please; The Lovely Lady.

Birds, Beasts and Flowers

D.H. Lawrence 1885 1930 made a contribution to poetry that, in the words of Lousie Bogan, ‘can now be recognized as one of the most important, in any language, of our time.’ Birds, Beasts, and Flowers!, his first great experiment in free verse, was published when he was thirty eight. This Black Sparrow edition re sets the text in the format of the first edition New York: Thomas Seltzer, 1923 and restores several ‘indecent’ lines suppressed by the original publisher.

The Vicar’s Garden and Other Stories

The volume collects together manuscript and other early versions of thirteen of D. H. Lawrence’s short stories, including some of the best known ‘Odour of Chrysanthemums’, ‘The Blind Man’, as well as many which have never been published before. It includes the earliest stories Lawrence wrote, dating from the autumn of 1907, and stories written between 1911 and 1919. With this volume, all Lawrence’s extant short fiction is now published in the Cambridge edition of his works. All the texts are newly edited, with detailed explanatory notes and a full textual apparatus showing the variants between the manuscripts and later versions, and the Introduction gives an account of their compositional history. This edition thus enables readers, scholars and students to trace Lawrence’s extraordinary and rapid development as a writer and to compare the original forms of these stories with what he subsequently went on to make of them.

The Rocking Horse Winner & Other Stories

‘Dramascripts’ are intended for use in secondary schools, amateur theatrical groups and youth clubs. This play is an adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s ‘The Rocking Horse Winner’, a moving short story which deals with greed and the dangers of outright materialism.

Daughters of the Vicar

A bleak, unrelenting tale of poverty and loss, Lawrence’s expertly crafted novella chillingly examines man s increasing inability to love and be loved. With a Foreword by Anita Desai.

Looking for acceptance from his new congregation, the Reverend Ernest Lindley cannot ignore the fact that his parishioners are far from welcoming. Rather than confront such hostility, the Lindleys instead become ever more isolated: he pale and miserable and neutral ; she bitter and beaten by fear. And having raised their children to be similarly dispassionate, it seems inevitable that their daughters should enter loveless marriages. While Mary becomes the dutiful wife, younger sister Louisa vows to experience love for herself little knowing that such desires will divide an already broken family. Most famous for Lady Chatterley s Lover, D.H. Lawrence 1885 1930 is universally regarded as one of the foremost figures of early 20thcentury literature.

The Rocking-Horse Winner

‘Dramascripts’ are intended for use in secondary schools, amateur theatrical groups and youth clubs. This play is an adaptation of D.H. Lawrence’s ‘The Rocking Horse Winner’, a moving short story which deals with greed and the dangers of outright materialism.

Mornings in Mexico

Much of D.H. Lawrence’s life was defined by his passion for travel and it was those wanderings that gave life to some of his greatest novels. In the 1920s Lawrence travelled several times to Mexico, where he was fascinated by the clash of beauty and brutality, purity and darkness that he observed. The diverse and evocative essays that make up Mornings in Mexico wander from an admiring portrayal of the Indian way of life to a visit to the studio of Diego Rivera and are brightly adorned with simple and evocative details: piles of fruit in a village market, strolls in a courtyard filled with hibiscus and roses, the play of light on an adobe wall. It was during his time in Mexico that Lawrence re wrote The Plumed Serpent, which is infused with his own experiences there. To read Mornings in Mexico is thus to discover the inspiration behind of one of Lawrence’s most loved works and to be immersed in a portrait of the country like no other.

David Herbert Richards Lawrence 1885 1930 was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, translations, literary criticism, and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, sexuality, and human instinct. Lawrence’s opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his ‘savage pilgrimage’. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as ‘the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation’. Lawrence is perhaps best known for his novels Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, and Lady Chatterley’s Lover. Within these he explores the possibilities for life and living within an Industrial setting. His other works include: The White Peacock 1911, The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd 1914, The Lost Girl 1920, St. Mawr 1925, The Man Who Died 1931 and The Fight for Barbara 1933.

Twilight in Italy

Webster’s edition of this classic is organized to expose the reader to a maximum number of synonyms and antonyms for difficult and often ambiguous English words that are encountered in other works of literature, conversation, or academic examinations. Extremely rare or idiosyncratic words and expressions are given lower priority in the notes compared to words which are difficult, and often encountered in examinations. Rather than supply a single synonym, many are provided for a variety of meanings, allowing readers to better grasp the ambiguity of the English language, and avoid using the notes as a pure crutch. Having the reader decipher a word’s meaning within context serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. Each page covers words not already highlighted on previous pages. If a difficult word is not noted on a page, chances are that it has been highlighted on a previous page. A more complete thesaurus is supplied at the end of the book; synonyms and antonyms are extracted from Webster’s Online Dictionary.

Studies in Classic American Literature

Lawrence asserted that ‘the proper function of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it’. In these highly individual, penetrating essays he has exposed ‘the American whole soul’ within some of that continent’s major works of literature. In seeking to establish the status of writings by such authors as Poe, Melville, Fenimore Cooper and Whitman, Lawrence himself has created a classic work. ‘Studies in Classic American Literature‘ is valuable not only for the light it sheds on eighteenth and nineteenth century American consciousness, telling ‘the truth of the day’, but also as a prime example of Lawrence’s learning, passion and integrity of judgement.

Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious and Fantasia of the Unconscious

Written in Lawrence’s most productive period, the two essays Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious 1921 and Fantasia of the Unconscious 1922 propose an alternative to what Lawrence perceived as the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious and the incest motive. In doing so they also develop his ideas about the upbringing and education of children, about marriage, and about social and even political action. These writings form an illuminating guide to his philosophy in general, and the thinking behind his other published works.

Mornings in Mexico & Etruscan Places

Much of D.H. Lawrence’s life was defined by his passion for travel and it was those wanderings that gave life to some of his greatest novels. In the 1920s Lawrence travelled several times to Mexico, where he was fascinated by the clash of beauty and brutality, purity and darkness that he observed. The diverse and evocative essays that make up Mornings in Mexico wander from an admiring portrayal of the Indian way of life to a visit to the studio of Diego Rivera and are brightly adorned with simple and evocative details: piles of fruit in a village market, strolls in a courtyard filled with hibiscus and roses, the play of light on an adobe wall. It was during his time in Mexico that Lawrence re wrote The Plumed Serpent, which is infused with his own experiences there. To read Mornings in Mexico is thus to discover the inspiration behind of one of Lawrence’s most loved works and to be immersed in a portrait of the country like no other.

Po*rnography and So on

In 1929, in the Criterion Miscellany, Viscount Brentford and D. H. Lawrence engaged in public debate on the question of censorship. Lord Brentford’s pamphlet appeared under the title of Do We Need a Censor?; D. H. Lawrence s pamphlet was called Po*rnography and Obscenity, and he later continued his discussion of current conceptions of what is clean and what is dirty, and the problem of censorship in art and literature, in a further pamphlet called Nettles. Po*rnography and Obscenity was written in the autumn of 1929 at Rottach am Tegernsee, where Lawrence was the guest of Max Mohr. It was written as protest and rejoinder against the police raid in 1929 which seized 25 pictures on show, 4 books of reproductions, and Grosz, Ecce Homo, and even a volume of pictures by William Blake. Lawrence wrote to the Curtis Brown office in September that he was surprised Faber would risk the obscenity article, but he agreed to a suggestion that the name of Glasworthy and Barrie be omitted from the published version. The reference was to their novels being more po*rnographic than Boccaccio, who was wholesome. The publishers asked both Lawrence and Lord Brentford, Home Secretary at the time and prime mover in the action against Pansies and Lady Chatterley, to write essays giving their respective viewpoints on the question of censorship. Lawrence was apparently quite elated when his pamphlet sold better than that of his rival. The present volume consists of these two pamphlets, together with the kindred introduction which Lawrence wrote for the Introduction to his Paintings. It is the interesting and entertaining work on po*rnography and obscenity by the author of Lady Chatterly’s Lover, a book which was banned and censored into the 1960s. It has been said that, ‘When Lawrence got going, he almost always went too far, but hitting a nerve of truth on the way.’ This work discusses the problems of censorship in art and literature by one who knew firsthand, and shows the genius of Lawrence at his best: it begins with his quick start, and his surprise description, ‘What is po*rnography to one man is the laughter of genius to another. He also asserts that ‘Without secrecy there would be no po*rnography. But if po*rnography is the result of sneaking secrecy, what is the result of po*rnography? What is the effect on the individual?’ It’s quite a ride, though, as Lawrence’s work usually is.

Apocalypse

Lawrence asserted that ‘the proper function of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it’. In these highly individual, penetrating essays he has exposed ‘the American whole soul’ within some of that continent’s major works of literature. In seeking to establish the status of writings by such authors as Poe, Melville, Fenimore Cooper and Whitman, Lawrence himself has created a classic work. ‘Studies in Classic American Literature’ is valuable not only for the light it sheds on eighteenth and nineteenth century American consciousness, telling ‘the truth of the day’, but also as a prime example of Lawrence’s learning, passion and integrity of judgement.

The Letters of D.H.Lawrence: Previously Unpublished Letters and General Index Vol 8

This volume contains 942 letters written between October 1916 to June 1921. These letters show the frustration he experienced in finding a publisher for Women in Love in the wake of the Rainbow prosecution. Concurrently he began to write the essays which subsequently formed Studies in Classical American Literature, he also planned and wrote a school textbook, Movements in European History. There were important changes in his business affairs: the beginning of his association with the American publisher Thomas Seltzer and the change from the literary agent Pinker to Mountsier in New York and Curtis Brown in London. There is a particularly interesting correspondence with Compton Mackenzie, and the rupture of his old friendship with Middleton Murry and Katherine Mansfield. This period was a turning point, the beginning of his break with England and with Europe, before he made his journey to Ceylon and Australia en route for the USA. Published in two volumes.

CERVETERI THE Etruscans, as everyone knows, were the people who occupied the middle of Italy in early Roman days, and whom the Romans, in their usual neighbourly fashion, wiped out entirely in order to make room for Rome with a very big R. They couldn t have wiped them all out, there were too many of them. But they did wipe out the Etruscan existence as a nation and a people. However, this seems to be the inevitable result of expansion with a big E, which is the sole raison tTStre of people like the Romans. Now, we know nothing about the Etruscans except what we find in their tombs. There are references to them in Latin writers. But of first hand knowledge we have nothing except what the tombs offer. So to the tombs we must go or to the museums containing the things that have been rifled from the tombs. Myself, the first time I consciously saw Etruscan things, in the museum at Perugia, I was instinctively attracted to them. And it seems to be that way. Either there is instant sympathy, or instant contempt and indifference. Most people despise everything B. C. that isn t Greek, for the good reason that it ought to be Greek if it isn t, So Etruscan things are put down…

Selected Letters

Of the ten thousand letters that Aldous Huxley wrote, only a fraction have been published. Almost forty years after the first appearance of a volume of Huxley’s letters, those that were once considered too sensitive for publication can now be included in a wholly new collection. James Sexton’s thoughtful selection opens new perspectives on the personal and intellectual lives of one of the giants of modern English prose and of social commentary in our time. Some of the earliest Huxley letters movingly depict his courageous battle with almost total blindness and his resulting unfitness for service in the Great War. Later letters to his patroness, Lady Ottoline Morrell, demonstrate much of the brilliance that would soon gain Huxley an international reputation as one of his generation’s major satirists. Perhaps the most important group of letters in this edition is the sparkling correspondence from Huxley to Bloomsbury hostess Mary Hutchinson, revealing Aldous as a witty yet ardent lover.

Propos of Lady Chatterley’s Lover, Being an Essay Extended from My Skirmish with Jolly Roger.

Lady Chatterley’s Lover, by D. H. Lawrence, is part of the Barnes & Noble Classics series, which offers quality editions at affordable prices to the student and the general reader, including new scholarship, thoughtful design, and pages of carefully crafted extras. Here are some of the remarkable features of Barnes & Noble Classics: All editions are beautifully designed and are printed to superior specifications; some include illustrations of historical interest. Barnes & Noble Classics pulls together a constellation of influences biographical, historical, and literary to enrich each reader’s understanding of these enduring works. The last, and most famous, of D. H. Lawrence’s novels, Lady Chatterley s Lover was published in 1928 and banned in England and the United States as po*rnographic. While sexually tame by today s standards, the book is memorable for better reasons Lawrence s masterful and lyrical prose, and a vibrant story that takes us bodily into the world of its characters. As the novel opens, Constance Chatterley finds herself trapped in an unfulfilling marriage to a rich aristocrat whose war wounds have left him paralyzed and impotent. After a brief but unsatisfying affair with a playwright, Lady Chatterley enjoys an extremely passionate relationship with the gamekeeper on the family estate, Oliver Mellors. As Lady Chatterley falls in love and conceives a child with Mellors, she moves from the heartless, bloodless world of the intelligentsia and aristocracy into a vital and profound connection rooted in sexual fulfillment. Through this novel, Lawrence attempted to revive in the human consciousness an awareness of savage sensuality, a sensuality with the power to free men and women from the enslaving sterility of modern technology and intellectualism. Perhaps even more relevant today than when it first appeared, Lady Chatterley s Lover is a triumph of passion and an erotic celebration of life.

Study of Thomas Hardy and Other Essays

D. 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.

Movements In European History

Originally published in 1921 by OxfORD Lawrence’s textbook presents a vivid sketch of European history from ancient Rome to the early twentieth century. This book remains significant in the canon of Lawrence’s work as the only school textbook he ever wrote. In it he explores and clarifies his thinking on political morality and social institutions. Dr. Crumpton’s introduction describes the genesis, publication and reception of the book, giving an account of the little known Irish edition of 1926 which suffered much censorship, and identifies and analyzes 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; the textual apparatus gives variant readings and an appendix lists the source materials. Lawrence’s Epilogue, written in 1924 but not published until 1972, is included.

Apocalypse and the Writings on Revelation

Apocalypse is D. H. Lawrence’s last book, written during the winter of 1929 30 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.

Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine and Other Essays

This volume contains what Lawrence himself called ‘philosophicalish’ essays written in the decade 1915 25. The topics range from politics to nature, from religion to education; the tone from lighthearted humor to mordant wit, to spiritual meditation. For all these contrasts, however, the essays share many of the underlying themes of the mature Lawrence: ‘Be thyself’ could be the volume’s motto. As far as possible, this edition restores what Lawrence wrote before typists, editors, and compositors made the extensive alterations that have been followed in all previous editions of the texts on occasion 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; notes offer help with allusions and other difficult points. Several incomplete and unpublished essays are reproduced in an appendix.

The Letters of D. H. Lawrence, Vol. VII 1928-30

This volume contains almost all the 763 letters Lawrence wrote in the last fifteen months of his life with an introduction, maps, notes, illustrations, chronology and index. Lawrence corresponded with publishers and agents, regarding Lady Chatterley’s Lover, The Escaped Co*ck and Pansies. He wrote no new fiction, but there were paintings, poems, essays, newspaper articles, and his last work Apocalypse. There were dramatic episodes with the seizure of his Pansies manuscript, and the police raid on the exhibition of his paintings at a London gallery, with its subsequent trial.

Selected Critical Writings

‘A critic must be able to feel the impact of a work of art in all its complexity and force. To do so, he must be a man of force and complexity himself…
‘ ‘A critic must be emotionally alive in every fibre, intellectually capable and skilful in essential logic, and then morally very honest.’ These comments by D. H. Lawrence are as close a description as any of himself as a critic. They come from his essay on fellow novelist John Galsworthy, and there are many other pieces on novels and novelists in this selection. But Lawrence’s range of genres extends to poetry and plays and paintings, and his critical writing encompas*ses an enormous variety of subjects, from Aeschylus and the Apocalypse to symbolism and syphilis, for his nterests are philosophical , psychological, religious, moral, sociological, historical and cultural as well as literary and artistic. This selection is a treasure trove of ‘thought adventures’ by one of literature’s liveliest critical spirits.

Late Essays and Articles

D.H. Lawrence often wrote for newspapers in his last years not only because he needed the money, but because he enjoyed producing short articles at the prompting of editors. He also wrote substantial essays such as the contentious introduction to his own volume of Paintings and the highly controversial Po*rnography and Obscenity. Written between 1926 and Lawrence’s death in 1930, all thirty nine articles are collected and edited in this volume, including two previously unpublished autobiographical pieces.

Mornings in Mexico and Other Essays

This is the first critical edition of 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 these cultures of Mexico and the Southwest.

Magical Realist Fiction

This capacious 520 pages anthology has selections from the authors you would expect to find, from others you may be less familiar with, and from writers you might not expect to show up in this company. The result is a treasure trove of unusual fiction spanning authors from Gogol and Kafka through Woolf and Nabokov to Calvino, Garcia Marquez, and Barthelme one of the most exciting anthologies to appear in the last decade. This is a poet’s companion, a student’s delight, great bedside reading: the kind of book you’d take to a desert island!
