Product Description

Product Description

"Women in Love" is widely regarded as D. H. Lawrence's greatest novel. The novel 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. The focus of the novel is primarily on their relationships, Ursula's with Rupert Birkin, a school inspector, though he gives that up, and Gudrun's with Gerald Crich, an industrialist, and later with a sculptor, Loerke.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lawrence's greatest fictional masterpiece, 14 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This novel has permanently affected me since I first read, and then later dissected and analyzed it for my final thesis at university. The mythical images which are woven into the plot, descriptions, and the actions of the characters are brilliant. Most fascinating, however, are the discussions held between the characters (all with very potent personalities) on such topics as modern life, art, identity, and love. This is a MUST READ for anyone interested in 20th century literature. I cannot praise this novel enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars review of Lawrence's masterpiece Women in Love, 20 Nov 2002
By amy (Rugby, Warwickshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
Lawrence's novel sets the scene just before the first world war in England, in atmosphere of anxious ignorance. Lawrence intimately explores the lives of the two sisters Gudrun and Ursula, as they discover what it is to be in love and the confusion of emotion that accompanies it. Gudrun falls in love with the charming Gerald whilst Ursula and Birkin embark on a more cynical and cautious affair; the different personalities of the sisters allow Lawrence to illustrate contrasting approaches to love and lust. The unique style, typical of Lawrence, takes the form of philosophical conversation in different scenarios, which is brought to life by the individuality of the characters and their beliefs. The issues that the novel raises are conveyed in a very personal way that allows Lawrence's mind to shine through his characters and additionally permits the reader a greater incite into the authors philosophies and vulnerability. Lawrence's attention to detail of the two protagonists displays his superb understanding of the human mind and sexual desire. This is a story that is strongly driven and created by its characters, who never allow the focus to waver or the reader to tire....

5.0 out of 5 stars Not only about love, 28 Jan 2009
By D. C. Folch "Keen reader" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I just finished "Women in love" and I have to say it had been a long time since I felt so overwhemed by a story. I loved every paragraph, every line of thought, every conclusion...
It was my first "Lawrence-experience" and surely it won't be my last.
This novel is full of interesting dialogs, the characters are strong willed and with so much personality that it's difficult to feel detached from it. The are some magical moments: *BEWAHRE SPOILERS* the hand- clasping between Birkin and Gerald, Birkin's proposal to Ursula Brangwen, Birkin's thoughts when he sees the cold and dead face of Gerald...
If you haven't read this novel, I strongly recommend it...
I'll go on with Lady Chatterley's lover, see if it's as good as this one!
