D. H. Lawrence

The Masterpieces of World Fiction series brings together the best-loved short stories by the great masters of the genre-from Chekov and Maupassant, Kipling and Wilde, to O. Henry and Saki and Tolstoy and Conrad. Thoughtfully compiled by the bestselling author Terry O' Brien, this series is a great way for readers to revisit old favourites and for introducing literary masterpieces to newer, younger readers.

With an Introduction and Notes by David Ellis, University of Kent at Canterbury. 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.

In "S hne und Liebhaber" portr tiert D. H. Lawrence den jungen K nstler Paul Morel, welcher in einem emotionalen Gef ngnis gefangen ist - gefesselt von der berw ltigenden, doch ungesunden Liebe seiner Mutter. Diese unheilvolle Bindung vergiftet all seine sp teren Beziehungen und f hrt zu einem zerm rbenden Wechselspiel aus Anziehung und Absto ung, ein Konflikt, wie ihn Shakespeare mit "I love and hate her" (Cymbeline, III, 5) auf den Punkt bringt. Lawrences schonungslose Offenlegung menschlicher Abh ngigkeiten verleiht dem Roman eine zeitlose Intensit t. Obwohl das Werk bei seinem Erscheinen als anst ig kritisiert wurde, gilt es heute als eines der bedeutendsten literarischen Werke des 20.

Spanning over a period of sixty-five years, from the 1840s to 1905, The Rainbow by D. H Lawrence follows three generations of the Brangwen family, mapping the change in their romantic relationships amid the industrialization of Great Britain. Their story begins when Tom Brangwen meets a Polish widow named Lydia. The two soon fall in love and get married, though they find that their cultural differences cause more issues than they imagined. Due to a cultural and language barrier, Lydia and Tom find it difficult to connect to one another, but they stay persistent and remain together regardless. Since Lydia had a child with her late husband, Tom adopted her daughter, Anna, as one of his own. When Anna gets married, she and her husband Will shift the focus to their romance, which begins as an innocent and happy affair. During the early phases of their relationship and marriage, Anna and Will were wrapped up into each other, unaware of anything else except for their love. But this romantic daze cannot last for forever. Anna soon returns to reality, much quicker than Will, which causes a rift in their relationship, especially when they have children. Their youngest daughter, Ursula, is able to live more freely than any of the other Brangwen’s. Though she feels the societal pressure that is forced upon her as a woman, Ursula is more concerned with being independent and happy. She is passionate and sensual, seeking out many romantic relationships, including one with her female schoolteacher. But as she grows older, she meets a sweet British solider named Anton. The two remain in an extended and happy relationship, but as the possibility of marriage grows near, Ursula must decide if she feels ready to make such as commitment, or if she ever even wants to be a married woman. Presented in sensual and emotional prose, D. H Lawrence’s The Rainbow effortlessly tackles taboo topics and complex protagonists. With themes of feminism, family, love, homosexuality, and religious rebellion, The Rainbow has invited controversy since the first year it was published, leading it to be banned in Great Britain. Modern readers can now enjoy what the original audience was scandalized by, divulging in a rich storyline of complicated love affairs. This edition of The Rainbow by D. H Lawrence features a new, eye-catching cover design and is printed in a font that is both readable and modern.

Et skip seiler i mørket nedover Hudsonfloden. Ombord befinner Juliet og hennes lille sønn seg på vei mot Sicilia. Det er legen hjemme i Amerika som har ordinert hvile i solen, og selv om Juliet ikke tror på dens helende kraft, har hun latt seg overtale. Reisen fører henne bort fra den stive relasjonen til mannen og det grå hjemlandet. Mellom sypressene og kaktusene i sydens sol åpner Juliet seg langsomt for lyset og varmen, og med det livslysten.

First published in 1913, "Sons and Lovers" is D. H. Lawrence's provocative semi-autobiographical novel. The work is based in part on his own family, his mother married a miner like the matriarch of the novel and consequently felt constrained by being relegated to a working class life. The story reflects the struggles of Paul Morel, an artist who cannot reciprocate love for other women while under the influence of his stifling mother. Unconsciously taught to despise his father and eschew other women, Paul comes even further under his mother's psychological grip after the death of his older brother. When he eventually does fall in love, the results of his confused affection and desire are painful for all concerned. What follows is a tragic struggle for Paul between the desire for a normal loving relationship and the innate sense of love and fidelity he feels for his mother. While "Sons and Lovers", for its Oedipal allusions and conflict with contemporary views on sexuality, was considered scandalous when first published, it has come to be regarded as one of Lawrence's greatest works, his earliest masterpiece. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper and includes an introduction by Mark Schorer.

England, My England is the title of a collection of short stories by D. H. Lawrence. Individual items were originally written between 1913 and 1921, many of them against the background of World War I. Most of these versions were placed in magazines or periodicals. Ten were later selected and extensively revised by Lawrence for the England, My England volume.

D. H. Lawrence's skill at dissecting human emotions and conflicting thoughts lends a depth to his writings that few modern writers can match. His innovative application of the "school of realism" gives his characters' internal reflections a searing authenticity which is borne out with great effect in this collection of short stories. Selected from works he had originally published in magazines and periodicals between 1913 and 1921, the stories are set in the post-Edwardian period, many against the background of WWI. After extensive revision, the anthology was published in 1922 under the title, England, My England. Lawrence's prolific output - novels, short stories, poems, plays and essays, to name a few - was often contentious and earned him as much opprobrium at the time as it did credit, but he is now acknowledged as one of the twentieth century's masters of literature.

The Rainbow is a novel by the British author DH Lawrence, written in 1915. It tells the story of 3 generations of the Brangwen family, farmers in the hinterland of England, their relationships and passions, as well as unveiling the female soul And issues forbidden at the time. The Rainbow is one of the earliest works of the English writer D. H. Lawrence. Published in 1915 in England, it was confiscated and its specimens burned for being considered obscene and anti-patriotic. Only eleven years later, that ban was lifted in that country. The Rainbow tells the story of three generations of the Brangwen family, a dynasty of farmers and craftsmen who live in the east Midlands of England, on the borders of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire. The book spans a period of roughly 65 years from the 1840s to 1905, and shows how the love relationships of the Brangwens change against the backdrop of the increasing industrialisation of Britain. The first central character, Tom Brangwen, is a farmer whose experience of the world does not stretch beyond these two counties; while the last, Ursula, his granddaughter, studies at university and becomes a teacher in the progressively urbanised, capitalist and industrial world. The book starts with a description of the Brangwen dynasty, then deals with how Tom Brangwen, one of several brothers, fell in love with a Polish refugee and widow, Lydia. The next part of the book deals with Lydia's daughter by her first husband, Anna, and her destructive, battle-riven relationship with her husband, Will, the son of one of Tom's brothers. The last and most extended part of the book, and also probably the most famous, then deals with Will and Anna's daughter, Ursula, and her struggle to find fulfilment for her passionate, spiritual and sensual nature against the confines of the increasingly materialist and conformist society around her. She experiences a same-sex relationship with a teacher, and a passionate but ultimately doomed love affair with Anton Skrebensky, a British soldier of Polish ancestry. At the end of the book, having failed to find her fulfilment in Skrebensky, she has a vision of a rainbow towering over the Earth, promising a new dawn for humanity: "She saw in the rainbow the earth's new architecture, the old, brittle corruption of houses and factories swept away, the world built up in a living fabric of Truth, fitting to the over-arching heaven." David Herbert Richards Lawrence was an 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. 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, human sexuality and instinct.
