D.H. Lawrence: The Early Philosophical Works: A Commentary

by Michael Black

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

This second volume of Michael Black's commentary on Lawrence's prose works concentrates on the extraordinary sequence of nonfiction texts written between 1913 and 1917: The "Foreword" to Sons and Lovers, Study of Thomas Hardy, Twilight in Italy, "The Crown," "The Reality of Peace." In all of them Lawrence was compulsively rewriting what he called "my philosophy." They are difficult works: highly metaphorical, in places prophetically expressionist, even surreal. This extended commentary makes sense of them, treating them as a succession of experimental writings that support each other, develop non-discursive modes of writing, and are linked by shared metaphors that reveal shared preoccupations. Black's highly useful analysis is like the close reading of poetry.

Review:

"We cannot but admire the tremendous effort of intelligent attention which [Black's] book represents and be moved by his devotion to and faith in his author." English Literature in Transition

Description:

Includes bibliographical references (p. 445-462) and index.
