Other notable works by this author include: “The White Peacock” (1911), “The Trespasser” (1912), and “Sons and Lovers” (1913). A veritable masterpiece of English literature not to be missed by those who have read and enjoyed others works by Lawrence. Lawrence’s 1920 novel “Women in Love” is a sequel to “The Rainbow” (1915) and continues the story of Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen, exploring their lives and loves in pre-World War I England. Today, he is considered to be one of the most important and influential writers of his generation. In his novels and poetry, Lawrence explored a variety of then-controversial issues including sexuality and emotional health, which led many to label his work pornography.
With thanks to the Estate of Frieda Lawrence Ravagli.David Herbert Lawrence (1885–1930) was an English writer and poet whose work famously examined the results of industrialisation on contemporary society. The emotional relationships are given further depth and tension by an intense psychological and physical attraction between Gerald and Rupert. Lawrence contrasts this pair with the love that develops between Ursula and Rupert Birkin, an alienated intellectual who articulates many fashionable nihilistic opinions.
Gudrun is an artist who pursues a destructive relationship with Gerald Crich, a rich industrialist who is haunted by family tragedy. In ‘Women in Love’ Ursula Brangwen’s younger sister Gudrun comes into equal focus as the two sisters embark on love affairs. Set in a mining town in Nottinghamshire, this drama is a celebration of Lawrence at his most bold, pushing the boundaries of sexuality in the dawning of the Twentieth Century. Sexual awakenings, transgressive same sex love and internalised repression are explored as his characters try to find happiness and fulfilment in uncertain times. ‘DH Lawrence: Tainted Love’ dynamically puts centre stage Lawrence's daring writing on the complexity of human love. As Ursula and Rupert grow closer can Gerald untangle his feelings for Rupert? Rupert and Gudrun try to comfort him but Gerald finds it hard to express his emotions. Gerald is reeling from the death of his sister Diana.
