A great modernist novelist, short-story writer, poet, critic, playwright and essayist, D.H. Lawrence gave to world his own brand of creativity as also his critical insights. Lawrence’s life, art, criticism, poetry and teaching were all so closely related that it is unusually difficult to distinguished one aspect of his achievement from all the others. The present book, The Fiction of D.H. Lawrence attempts to render in a simple and lucid manner an in-depth analysis of Lawrentian fiction, aiming at acquainting readers with the passionate beliefs of Lawrence as manifested in his fictional material like his novels, novellas and short stories. The book analyses some of Lawrence’s major fictional works ranging from the outrageous Lady Chatterley’s Lover to little known works like The man Who Died. The selection of novels, novellas and short stories analysed in the book has been done keeping in mind key issues like the man-woman relationship, the mystical religion of the blood or the dark Gods Mexico etc. It traces the development of Lawrentian though in terms of assumptions common to his essays as well as presenting him through a plethora of contemporary critics. While the present work offers to the student community an accessible and exciting study material which would prove useful to them, it is a valuable source of reference for the teachers.
