Description: One of the greatest twentieth-century novelists and poets, D. H. Lawrence wrote and lived with a passionate intensity that shocked his contemporaries. Composed at the height of Lawrence's powers, and indeed, in its blend of lyricism, psychological penetration, and an eroticism that is never very far from violence, "Women in Love" can still shock and discomfit readers. In this story of two very unconventional sisters, Ursula and Gundrun Brangwen, and the men they love, Lawrence argues urgently for a new conjunction between man and woman, as "two pure beings, each constituting the freedom of the other". This edition is specially illustrated with reproductions of Lawrence's own rare and striking paintings.
