Women in Love Summary
|
Privately printed in 1920 and published commercially in 1921, Women in Love is the novel Lawrence himself considered his masterpiece. Set in the English Midlands, the novel traces the lives of two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun, and the men with whom they fall in love. All four yearn for fulfillment in their romantic lives, yet struggle in a world that is increasingly violent and destructive. Commenting on the novel, which was composed in the midst of the First World War in 1916, Lawrence wrote, "The bitterness of the war may be taken for granted in the characters." Rich in symbolism and lyrical prose, Women in Love is a complex meditation on the meaning of love in the modern world.
"It is... the world of the poets and the preponderance of the poet in [Lawrence] that is the key to his work," wrote Anaïs Nin in 1934. "He magnified and deepened experience in the manner of a poet." The critic Alfred Kazin wrote of Lawrence, "No other writer of [his] imaginative standing has in our time written books that are so open to life." |
