About the Book:

Regarded by Lawrence himself as his finest novel, Women in Love continues the lives of Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen (first introduced in The Rainbow) as they navigate emotional, erotic, and intellectual upheaval in an English coal-mining district. Ursulas relationship with Rupert Birkin a thinly veiled self-portrait of Lawrence unfolds in counterpoint to Gudruns intense, destructive involvement with Gerald Crich, the colliers son.

The novels searching examination of love, power, idealism, embodiment, and the crisis of modernity is as compelling today as when it first appeared. Readers are drawn into a feverish world where passion collides with philosophy and where Lawrence probes the deepest tensions of human intimacy.

About the Author:

D. H. Lawrence (18851930), novelist, poet, essayist, and critic, remains one of the most distinctive voices of the early twentieth century. His explorations of sexuality, psychology, and social change were controversial in his time but have since secured his place as a central figure of modern literature.
