About The Book

Description

This edition has been annotated with the following unique content: Author biography About Women in Love “Then the lovely darkness fell again, the lanterns and the little threaded lights glimmered softly, there was a muffled knocking of oars and a waving of music.” Women in Love is a novel by English author D.H. Lawrence, first published in 1920. A sequel to his 1915 novel The Rainbow, it explores the negative impact of industrialization on the human psyche. Thematically the work expresses the view that rebirth, both collective and individual, is only possible by way of human intensity and passion. The story follows and contrasts the romantic relationships of Rupert Birkin and Ursula Brangwen with Gudrun, Ursula’s artistic sister, and Gerald Crich, an overbearing industrialist. The emotional relationships thus established are given further depth and tension by an intense psychological and physical attraction between Gerald and Rupert. A powerful, absorbing literary classic, and an unmissable read.
