Produktbeschreibung

D. H. Lawrence'Äôs "The Fox" presents a deeply symbolic narrative that explores themes of sexuality, gender roles, and the complexities of human relationships against the backdrop of early 20th-century rural England. Written in Lawrence's distinctively lyrical style, the novella employs rich imagery and psychological depth to unravel the conflict between the two central female characters, Jill and Ellen, whose lives are disrupted by the intrusion of a virile fox. This literary work epitomizes Lawrence'Äôs fascination with the primal instincts of nature and the tensions between civilization and the wild. D. H. Lawrence, an influential figure in modernist literature, often drew from his own experiences to inform his works. Growing up in an industrial town, surrounded by the natural world, he developed a profound appreciation for the rawness of life and the intricacies of human emotion. His exploration of sexuality and the human psyche in "The Fox" reflects not only his personal struggles but also the broader societal changes occurring during his time, offering a critique of the rigid Victorian values that confined individual expression. For readers seeking a compelling exploration of existential themes interwoven with nature and identity, "The Fox" is an essential read. Lawrence'Äôs incisive prose invites readers into a world where the primal instincts of life force confront the constraints of societal roles, making it a significant work for anyone interested in the intersection of personal and cultural dynamics.

Autorenporträt

David Herbert Richards "D. H." Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter. His collected works represent, among other things, an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. Some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and 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 which he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. 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, Women in Love and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Within these Lawrence explores the possibilities for life within an industrial setting. In particular Lawrence is concerned with the nature of relationships that can be had within such a setting. Though often classed as a realist, Lawrence in fact uses his characters to give form to his personal philosophy. His depiction of sexual activity, though seen as shocking when he first published in the early 20th century, has its roots in this highly personal way of thinking and being. It is worth noting that Lawrence was very interested in the sense of touch and that his focus on physical intimacy has its roots in a desire to restore an emphasis on the body, and re-balance it with what he perceived to be Western civilisation's over-emphasis on the mind.
