Bøger af D. H. Lawrence

This book is a scholarly edition of the first stories D. H. Lawrence wrote, with full textual apparatus, explanatory notes and detailed introduction. With this volume, all Lawrence's extant short fiction is now published in the Cambridge edition of his works.

Selected Stories by D.H. Lawrence is an adapted Pre-intermediate Level reader which consists of four short stories by one of the greatest writers of twentieth-century English literature. The four stories include 'The Virgin and the Gipsy', 'The Lovely Lady', 'The Rocking Horse Winner' and 'Love Among the Haystack'.

A powerful and engrossing tale of extremes and extremists, Women in Love (1920), follows the passionate relationships of Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen with their respective lovers, the ominous Gerald Crich and the charismatic but fragile Rupert Birkin. The abortive alliance between the two men and the couples' affairs are played out against the derangements of industrialism and the need to find new ways of living and better ways of dying. The introductionexplores the impact on Lawrence of the violence of the First World War.

The Rainbow chronicles the lives of three generations of the Brangwen family over a period of more than 60 years, setting them against the emergence of modern England. In her introduction to this edition Kate Flint illuminates Lawrence's aims and achievements against the background of the burgeoning century.

Lawrence's first major novel was also the first in the English language to explore ordinary working-class life from the inside. No writer before or since has written so well about the intimacies enforced by a tightly-knit mining community, and his powerful description of Paul Morel's relationships make this novel as relevant now as when it was first published.

Presents a collection of ten stories, which develops from early realism towards myth and fairy tale, murder, and ghost stories.

In these impressions of the Italian countryside: "Twilight in Italy", "Sea and Sardina", and "Etruscan Places", the author transforms ordinary incidents into passages of intense beauty.

Continues where "The Rainbow" left off, with the third generation of Brangwens: Ursula Brangwen, now a teacher at Beldover, a mining town in the Midlands, and her sister Gudrun, who has returned from art school in London.

An authoritative selection of letters by one of the great English letter-writers, first published in 1997, is also available in paperback.

Volume I of the Letters, edited by James T. Boulton, gives the first 580 letters in the series, covering the period September 1901 to May 1913. Professor Boulton's discreet annotation conceals an enormous labour of patient detection. There are over thirty photographs of his friends and correspondents.

The manuscript of Lawrence's second novel, The Trespasser, survives, and this edition presents the text for the first time as Lawrence wrote it, restoring his sentence-structure and punctuation and correcting numerous errors. Elizabeth Mansfield's introduction explores the background of the novel, presents the publishing history and the novel's reception.

The Prussian Officer contains some of the greatest stories Lawrence ever wrote: 'Odour of Chrysanthemums', 'Daughters of the Vicar', 'The Prussian Officer', and 'The White Stocking'. This edition, based on Lawrence's manuscripts, typescripts and corrected proofs, is the first to remove the corruptions introduced by copyists, typists and printers.

A critical edition of Kangaroo, D. H. Lawrence's eighth novel, set in Australia.

D. H. Lawrence wrote these three 'novelettes' between November 1920 and December 1921. Dieter Mehl gives all three composition histories including Lawrence's wish to have them published together. There is also an appendix on the models for the two main characters and the setting of 'The Fox'.

D. H. Lawrence's best-known late fictions are presented in this volume, which is dominated by two powerful novellas, The Virgin and the Gipsy and The Escaped Cock (also known as The Man Who Died). In the first, a young woman from a restrictive English rectory discovers further dimensions to life through her contact with a gipsy; in the second, an unnamed man - in fact Lawrence's vision of Christ - is resurrected and escapes from his tomb. Both novellas deal with the themes of escape and sexual awakening, which are echoed in the four short stories and three fragments also collected here. This edition restores Lawrence's final texts, before the changes introduced by censorship, mistakes in transmission and various other forms of interference, with variants recorded. The introduction traces the history of the stories, while the notes offer help with allusions, contexts and other points of potential difficulty or interest.

Apocalypse is a radical criticism of our civilisation and a statement of Lawrence's belief in man's power to create 'a new heaven and a new earth'. This edition is the first to reproduce Lawrence's final corrected text on the basis of a thorough examination of the surviving manuscript and typescript.

This volume collects together for the first time the introductions and reviews which D. H. Lawrence wrote between 1911 and 1930, including the magisterial Memoir of Maurice Magnus of 1921-2. The texts, some previously unpublished in Britain in uncensored form, are edited and supplied with an introduction and explanatory notes.

In his last years D. H. Lawrence often wrote for newspapers; he needed the money, and clearly enjoyed the work. He also wrote several substantial essays during the same period. This meticulously-edited collection brings together major essays such as Pornography and Obscenity and Lawrence's spirited Introduction to the volume of his Paintings; a group of autobiographical pieces, two of which are published here for the first time; and the articles Lawrence wrote at the invitation of newspaper and magazine editors. There are thirty-nine items in total, thirty-five of them deriving from original manuscripts; all were written between 1926 and Lawrence's death in March 1930. They are ordered chronologically according to the date of composition; each is preceded by an account of the circumstances in which it came to be published. The volume is introduced by a substantial survey of Lawrence's career as a writer responding directly to public interests and concerns.

This final volume of The Letters of D. H. Lawrence publishes 148 recently-discovered letters to or from Lawrence, corrects errors in earlier volumes, and offers a comprehensive critical index to the entire edition. This volume brings the Cambridge Edition of Lawrence's letters to a fitting conclusion.

Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine and Other Essays contains what Lawrence himself called the 'philosophicalish' essays written between 1915 and 1925. This edition restores what Lawrence himself wrote before typists, editors and compositors made the extensive alterations which have been followed in all previous versions of the texts.

This is the first ever edition of the early version of Sons and Lovers, D. H. Lawrence's highly popular autobiographical novel. It is very different from Sons and Lovers, less polished but full of powerful, spontaneous, dramatic writing. The volume also contains documents by Lawrence's girlfriend Jessie Chambers, facsimile pages, maps and scholarly apparatus.

Studies in Classic American Literature (1923) provides a cross-section of D. H. Lawrence's writing on American literature, including landmark essays on Benjamin Franklin, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville and Walt Whitman.

The Plumed Serpent, one of Lawrence's most vivid novels, is set in Mexico in the 1920s and centres on the religion of the ancient Aztecs.

Offers a criticism of the political, religious and social structures that have shaped Western civilization. This book presents the author's thoughts on psychology, science, politics, art, God and man, including a protest against Christianity.
