Bøker av D. H. Lawrence

Lawrence's rewriting of a tale by the part-time author Mollie Skinner, converted her production into an ambitious, powerful novel. A study of all the extant textual documents has revealed a process of composition and revision which qualifies the novel to be treated unequivocally as part of the Lawrence canon.

The first critical edition of D. H. Lawrence's 1912-16 essays. Lawrence left England for the first time in May 1912, and began to record his reactions to foreign cultures. In 1915 he amplified some of these essays and wrote others for Twilight in Italy (1916), his first travel book.

The First 'Women in Love' is one of Lawrence's greatest works, and is the only full length work of fiction which he completed between The Rainbow and the extensively revised Women in Love. The novel's existence as an independent text has been ignored, and has not been published until now.

A vivid sketch of European history, remaining significant in the canon of Lawrence's work as the only school textbook he ever wrote. 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.

Volume II of the Letters presents more than 700 letters, covering the period from June 1913 to October 1916, from the enthusiastic reception of Sons and Lovers to the completion of the first manuscript of Women in Love. Over two hundred letters are previously unpublished.

Sea and Sardinia records Lawrence's journey to Sardinia and back in January 1921. It reveals his response to a new landscape and people and his ability to transmute the spirit of place into literary art. This 1997 edition restores censored passages and corrects corrupt textual readings.

D. H. Lawrence wrote his last and perhaps most famous novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, three times, producing three very different texts. This 1999 book contains a critical edition of the two early versions of the novel. The text is printed from its manuscript source, with a detailed introduction and explanatory notes.

Lawrence asserted that 'the proper function of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it'. This title includes essays that exposed 'the American whole soul' within some of that continent's major works of literature.
