Produktbeschreibung

In Women In Love, D. H. Lawrence continues the story of Gundrun and Ursula Brangwen, first introduced in The Rainbow. In the course of their daily lives, the sisters meet and develop relationships with Gerald Crich and Rupert Birkin. As affairs between the couples deepen, they all must navigate the changing moral guidelines of post-war English society, while their pursuit of personal and physical fulfillment challenges the social strictures of their parents' generation and ends with devastating consequences.

Women in Love is the sequel to The Rainbow, D.H. Lawrence's first Brangwen family novel. Released to commercial success in 1920, the novel challenged typical depictions of relationships between men and women. Adapted for film in 1960, Women in Love actress Glenda Jackson was awarded an Academy Award for her portrayal of Gudrun Brangwen.

Autorenporträt

An English novelist, poet, playwright, literary critic, and painter, D. H. Lawrence is best known for his novels Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover. Writing in the period leading up to and following the First World War, Lawrence's work explores the nature of personal and sexual relationships in light of industrialization and the new culture of modernity. Persecuted for his strong opinions, Lawrence spent the second part of his career in an exile he referred to as his "savage pilgrimage,” while his work continued to be censored and misrepresented, resulting in the sensational obscenity trial of Lady Chatterley's Lover. Lawrence died in 1930 and is considered to be a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature.
