D.H. Lawrence and Survival by Ronald Granofsky Pdf
Although Darwin's ideas about evolution were dominant in D.H. Lawrence's day, little scholarly work has been done on the influence of these concepts on his work. This work argues that Lawrence employed ideas based on evolution in his fiction, particularly during the transition between his marriage and leadership periods (1919-22) when he embarked on a major rethinking of the direction of his creative work, and that these ideas contributed to the deterioration in his fiction after Women in Love. The book shows that Lawrence's deliberate use of Darwinian elements in his narrative strategy occurred at a time when he was increasingly concerned about survival, both personally, due to illness, and as an artist. The result in his fiction is a subtext in which his anxieties are projected onto female characters and the evolution of his writing is frustrated by unresolved emotional conflicts. Through new readings of the major fiction of Lawrence's transitional period, Ronald Granofsky demonstrates that Lawrence's deterioration as a writer and the misogyny of his later work was primarily the result of a deliberate effort on his part to move the ideological yardsticks of his fiction.
D.H. Lawrence remains one of the most popular and studied authors of the 20th century. This book is a comprehensive but easy to use reference guide to Lawrence's life, works, and critical reception. The volume has been systematically structured to convey a coherent overall sense of Lawrence's achievement and critical reputation, but it is also designed to enable the reader who may be interested in only one aspect of Lawrence's career, perhaps even in only one of his novels or stories, to find relevant information quickly and easily without having to read other parts of the text. The book begins with an original biography by John Worthen, one of the world's foremost authorities on Lawrence's life and work. The chapters that follow provide separate entries for all of Lawrence's works, except for individual poems and paintings, with critical summaries, discussions of characters, and details of settings. There is also a complete overview of Lawrence and film, with the most complete listing available of film adaptations of his works and of criticism relating to them. Each section of the book provides comprehensive primary and secondary bibliographical data, including citations for the most recent scholarly studies. Maps and chronologies further trace Lawrence's travels and his development over time.
D. H. Lawrence, Technology, and Modernity by Indrek Männiste Pdf
While the dehumanizing effects of technology, modernity, and industrialization have been widely recognized in D. H. Lawrence's works, no book-length study has been dedicated to this topic. This collection of newly commissioned essays by a cast of international scholars fills a genuine void and investigates Lawrence's peculiar relationship with modern technology and modernity in its many and varied aspects. Addressing themes such as pastoral vs. industrial, mining, war, robots, ecocriticism, technologies of the self, film, poetic devices of technology, entertainment, and many others, these essays help to reevaluate Lawrence's complicated standing within the modernist literary tradition and reveal the true theoretical wealth of a writer whose whole life and work, according to T.S. Eliot, "was an assertion of what the modern world has lost."

D.H. Lawrence's The Rainbow and Women in Love by Doo-Sun Ryu Pdf
Focusing on D. H. Lawrence's concept of «essential criticism», which was introduced in his posthumously published «Study of Thomas Hardy» and his statement that «every work of art adheres to some system of morality. But it must contain the essential criticism on the morality to which it adheres», this book examines the ways in which Lawrence presents his ideas in his major novels The Rainbow and Women in Love. It explores how this concept plays a crucial role in his fiction as an «other» to the implied author's messages: functioning differently, as equivocation and creative strife, respectively, in The Rainbow and Women in Love, the concept helps to make these novels more dynamic that commonly realized.
Space and Place in the Works of D.H. Lawrence by Stefania Michelucci Pdf
Originally published in Italian as L’orizzonte mobile: spazio e luoghi nella narrativa di D.H. Lawrence in 1998, this critical study analyzes the work of D.H. Lawrence in light of new theories about space and location, or place and community. This approach is especially useful in examining Lawrence, as place and space are central aspects of all of his work. The introductory chapter explains the theoretical premises, drawing extensively from anthropology especially insofar as the relationship between culture and nature or community and place are concerned. This chapter also offers theories based on semiotics, sociological concerns and recent research in human geography and environmentalism. Succeeding chapters analyze functional aspects of place and space in D.H. Lawrence’s work. Lawrence’s major novels and stories provide the main focus of this book, but attention is also paid to lesser-known texts, both fiction and nonfiction. This work provides a new approach to studies on D.H. Lawrence, opening up new insights for both scholars and students alike.
Dark, but bright with genius, "Women in Love" is a prophetic masterpiece steeped in eroticism, filled with perceptions about sexual power and obsession that have proven to be timeless and true. Features a new Introduction. Revised reissue.
The Glyph and the Gramophone by Luke Ferretter Pdf
D. H. Lawrence wrote in 1914, 'Primarily I am a passionately religious man, and my novels must be written from the depths of my religious experience.' Although he had broken with the Congregationalist faith of his childhood by his early twenties, Lawrence remained throughout his writing life a passionately religious man. There have been studies in the last twenty years of certain aspects of Lawrence's religious writing, but we lack a survey of the history of his developing religious thought and of his expressions of that thought in his literary works. This book provides that survey, from 1915 to the end of Lawrence's life. Covering the war years, Lawrence's American works, his time in Australia and Mexico, and the works of the last years of his life, this book provides readers with a complete analysis, during this period, of Lawrence as a religious man, thinker and artist.
Writing Against the Family by Cynthia Lewiecki-Wilson Pdf
A feminist comparison of D.H. Lawrence (1885-1930) and James Joyce (1882-1941), providing new readings of a number of their most important works, including Lawrence's Man Who Died and Joyce's Finnegans Wake. Reexamining Lawrence and Joyce from the point of view of feminist psychoanalysis, Lewiecki-Wilson challenges the notion that the two novelists reside in opposing modernist camps, contending that in fact they exist along a continuum, with both engaged in a reimagination of gender relations.

Modernist Sexualities by Hugh Stevens,Caroline Howlett Pdf
Leading critics from Britain, Canada, and the US examine modernism's imaginative rethinkings of sex, gender, and sexuality. Original essays show how modernism intersects with the suffragette movement, technological change and its effects on women and labor, the growth of pseudo-scientific writings, and the burgeoning lesbian and gay movement. They show how modernism upsets the fixities of gender and sexuality through its fascination with ambiguities, marginality, and the crossing of borders. Sex reformers and sex changers, unsexed storytellers, typewriters, femme and butch experimenters, suffragettes in wide-brimmed hats, musical and dramatic pageants, adolescent delinquents, sunbathers, and dancing indigenes all play a role in the heterodox and varied modernism revealed in these essays.
Das Phantom von Ego zeigt, wie modernistische Darstellungen des Unbewussten aktuelle Entdeckungen über die Bedeutung der Mimesis bei der Ausprägung von Subjektivität vorwegnehmen. Lawtoo geht aus von Nietzsches antimetaphysischer Diagnose des Ichs, seiner Erkenntnis, dass mimetische Reflexe die Seele bewegen, und seinem Beharren darauf, dass Psychologie die philosophische Reflexion beeinflusst. Eine vergleichende Lektüre von Nietzsche, J. Conrad, D. H. Lawrence und G. Bataille zeigt, dass das „mimetische Unbewusste“, bevor es empirisch entdeckt wurde, aus einer Strömung der Moderne hervorging, die ihrer Zeit voraus war. Lawtoo verfolgt die psychologischen, ethischen, politischen und kulturellen Implikationen davon, dass das moderne Ego aus der Nachahmung geboren ist; es ist daher, was Nietzsche ein „Phantom von Ego“ nennt. Das Phantom von Ego eröffnet von Nietzsche aus einen Hintereingang zum Unbewussten, der anstelle des Freud‘schen Traums die Mimesis als Königsweg begreift und so unser Verständnis der Psyche erneuert.
