General Note
:
"The text presented here is the "first" Women in Love, the unexpurgated version preferred by Lawrence himself. More positive in tone than the revised version published in his lifetime, with different central relationships and a radically different ending, it is now viewed by many as Lawrence's masterpiece"--P. [4] of cover.
Abstract
:
Women in Love (1920) continues the story of two sisters,Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, who first appeared in Lawrence's novel The Rainbow (1915). The story contrasts the passionate love affairs of Ursula and Rupert Birkin, a character often seen as a self-portrait of Lawrence, with that of Gudrun and Gerald Crich, an icily handsome mining industrialist. Birkin, an introspective misanthrope, struggles to reconcile his metaphysical drive for self-fulfillment with Ursula's practical view of sentimental passion. As they fight their way through to a mutually satisfying relationship--and eventual marriage--Gudrun and Crich's sadomasochistic love affair careens toward a disastrous conclusion. -- BarnesandNoble.com.
