D.H. Lawrence: Infinite Sensual Violence: Love, Sex and Relationships (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781861717757)

D.H. LAWRENCE

INFINITE SENSUAL VIOLENCE

By M.K. Pace

'Infinite sensual violence' is one of the phrases that D.H. Lawrence employs in his two great novels, The Rainbow and Women in Love which, with Lady Chatterley's Lover, form the heart of this study of love, emotion, sexuality, gender, identity and feminism in Lawrence's work. M.K. Pace sees Lawrence as still today one of the most challenging of writers, whose provocative, angry and sometimes simplistic ideas polarize critics and feminists.

D.H. Lawrence spawned more versions of himself, more D.H. Lawrences, than many other writers. There are the Lawrences in the works: the poet, playwright, correspondent, novelist, painter, travel writer, historian, critic and psychologist. In the books, and in criticism published since, Lawrence plays a number of roles: sociologist, Marxist, traveller, prophet, literary critic, feminist, mystic, martyr, politician, folklorist, theologian, agony aunt, genius, liar, fascist, Midlander, Englander, poet and pantheist.
