Publisher's Synopsis
In this challenging new interpretation, Barron offers provocative insights into the best known novels, from "Sons and Lovers" to "Lady Chatterley's Lover", questioning the type of condemnation offered by much feminist criticism. Using material from a wide range of sources, she emphasizes the centrality of sexual theorizing in Lawrence's work, from his interest in Freudian theory to his rejection of Christianity and his fascination with Norse myth and legend.
