WOMEN IN LOVE - D H LAWRENCE TASCHENBUCH

First encountered in Lawrence's novel The Rainbow  sisters Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen are now
grown-up women living in the English Midlands at the time of the First World War. Each becomes
involved in a love affair: Ursula with the misanthropic intellectual Rupert Birkin  and Gudrun
with Gerald Crich  a successful industrialist. The contrast between the two relationships - the
former happy and fulfilling  the latter tempestuous and violent - facilitates an examination of
both the regenerative and destructive aspects of human passion  while the novel's Alpine climax
is revelatory of the intensity of close male friendship. Heavily revised by the author in an
attempt to avoid a repeat of the controversy surrounding the publication of The Rainbow  which
had been suppressed on grounds of obscenity  Women in Love appeared first in the US in 1920 
with a British edition following the next year. Straddling the boundary between
nineteenth-century realism and modernism  it was regarded by Lawrence as his most accomplished
work  and is considered by many to be the author's masterpiece.
