D. H. Lawrence
"Let us hesitate no longer to announce that the sensual passions and mysteries are equally sacred with the spiritual mysteries and passions," wrote D. H. Lawrence inWomen in Love, his masterpiece heralding the erotic consciousness of the twentieth century. Lawrence explores love, sex, passion, and marriage through the eyes of two sisters, Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen. Intelligent, incisive, and observant, the two very different sisters pursue thrilling, torrid affairs with their lovers, Rupert and Gerald, while searching for more mature emotional relationships. Against a haunting World War I backdrop of coal mines, factories, and a beleaguered working class, Gudrun and Ursula's temperamental differences spark an ongoing debate regarding their society, their inner lives, and the mysteries between men and women. Exploring what it means to be human in a time of conflict and confusion, Lawrence considered this to be his best novel.
(P)2001 Blackstone Audio, Inc.Critic reviews
“It is…the world of the poets and the preponderance of the poet in [Lawrence] that is the key to his work. He magnified and deepened experience in the manner of a poet.”
(Anaïs Nin)“No other writer of [Lawrence’s] imaginative standing has in our time written books that are so open to life.”
(Alfred Kazin)“What beauties the book contains! There are many pages in it so saturated with warm and lovely intimacies that one reads absorbed.”
(Guardian (London))“Women in Love is a work of genius. It contains characters which are masterpieces of pure creation.”
(New Statesman)
