D.H. Lawrence: An Anthology of Recent Criticism
Edited by Aruna Sitesh
Largely focused on the concerns and the craft in the novels of D.H. Lawrence, this anthology also interrogates his contribution as a poet, as a dramatist, and as a critic. The features it reconstructs with the application of recent critical theories, especially structuralism, semiotics, feminism and deconstruction, include the problematization of the author’s roots, his treatment of women, his theory of novels, his politics, as also his characteristic stress on the polarities between man and man, and between man and the system. Drawn from recently published and widely acclaimed book-length studies and academic journals, the essays in this volume made for a comprehensive, coherent and insightful probe into the works of this major twentieth century writer.
