The Widowing of Mrs Holroyd

David Herbert Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialization, while championing sexuality, vitality and instinct. Three of his most famous novels — The Rainbow, Women in Love, and Lady Chatterley's Lover — were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of sexuality and use of explicit language.

Sons and Lovers

“The Bottoms” succeeded to “Hell Row.” Hell Row was a block of thatched, bulging cottages that stood by the brook-side on Greenhill Lane. There lived the colliers who worked in the little gin-pits two fields away. The brook ran under the alder-trees, scarcely soiled by these small mines, whose coal was drawn to the surface by donkeys that plodded wearily in a circle round a gin. And all over the countryside were these same pits, some of which had been worked in the time of Charles II., the few colliers and the donkeys burrowing down like ants into the earth, making queer mounds and little black places among the corn-fie1ds and the meadows. And the cottages of these coalminers, in blocks and pairs here and there, together with odd farms and homes of the stockingers, straying over the parish, formed the village of Bestwood. Then, some sixty years ago, a sudden change took place. The gin-pits were elbowed aside by the large mines of the financiers. The coal and iron field of Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire was discovered. Carston, Waite and Co. a peared. Amid tremendous excitement, Lord Palmerston formally opened the company’s first mine at Spinney Park, on the edge of Sherwood Forest. About this time the notorious Hell Row, which through growing old had acquired an evil reputation, was burned down, and much dirt was cleansed away.

Lady Chatterley's Lover

Ours is essentially a tragic age, so we refuse to take it tragically. The cataclysm has happened, we are among the ruins, we start to build up new little habitats, to have new little hopes. It is rather hard work: there is now no smooth road into the future: but we go round, or scramble over the obstacles. We've got to live, no matter how many skies have fallen. This was more or less Constance Chatterley's position. The war had brought the roof down over her head. And she had realised that one must live and learn. She married Clifford Chatterley in 1917, when he was home for a month on leave. They had a month's honeymoon. Then he went back to Flanders: to be shipped over to England again six months later, more or less in bits. Constance, his wife, was then twenty-three years old, and he was twenty-nine.

Classic Love - Short Stories

Love. Perhaps the one word solution for everything. An emotion, a state of mind that we strive for, search for. A wondrous force that binds, inspires, and a force that can spin out of control; unbalanced and fragile. Love reflects, changes and embraces us all. In this series we explore the many facets of love through literary talents that span both time and country. The Classic Love story is one that we all love to hear. But by classic do we mean the same story just retold again and again? In this volume our authors definitely take that on board but their narratives also bring different views, different understandings, greater depth, an emotional palette of hues and tints that fully colour this thing that we call love.1 - Classic Love - Short Stories - An Introduction2 - The Kiss by Anton Chekhov3 - A Modern Lover - Pt 1 by D H Lawrence4 - A Modern Lover - Pt 2 by D H Lawrence5 - The Gift of the Magi by O Henry6 - The Nightingale and the Rose by Oscar Wilde7 - Love by Guy de Maupassant8 - The Blizzard by Alexander Pushkin9 - Bliss by Katherine Mansfield10 - On the Gull's Road by Willa Cather11 - Madame Rose Hanie by Khalil Gibran12 - About Love by Anton Chekhov13 - Mrs Pierrepoint by Amy Levy14 - The District Doctor by Ivan Turgenev15 - Speed by Sinclair Lewis16 - The New Paris by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe17 - The Dance by Zona Gale18 - Those Who Wait by Ethel Dell19 - The Golden Honeymoon by Ring Lardner20 - A Haunted House by Virginia Woolf21 - The Fullness of Life by Edith Wharton22 - The Kiss by Kate Chopin23 - Mr and Mrs Dove by Katherine Mansfield24 - The Other Woman by Sherwood Anderson25 - The Grave by Guy de Maupassant26 - The Muse's Tragedy by Edith Wharton27 - The Lady with the Dog by Anton Chekhov

Tainted Love: A full-cast reimagining of The Rainbow & Women in Love

Two bold, authentic dramas exploring D.H. Lawrence's extraordinarily modern view of sexuality Daring, transgressive and controversial, D.H. Lawrence scandalized the literary world with his frank descriptions of sex and desire. He was censored by his own publisher for being too explicit, and several of his most famous works were banned under the Obscene Publications Act. But for Lawrence, a self-described 'priest of love', passion was the stuff of life - and these two dynamic reimaginings celebrate him at his most fearless, pushing the boundaries of sexuality at the dawn of the 20th Century. The Rainbow is seen through the eyes of Ursula Brangwen, and spans three generations of her family from 1840 to 1905. Unsatisfied with the limited choices open to women, Ursula delves into the histories of her mother, Anna, and grandmother Lydia, in an attempt to find a path to follow as she grapples with the forces of passion and desire. From her first crush to an illicit same-sex love affair, we follow Ursula on her journey of sexual awakening and self-discovery. In Women in Love, Ursula's younger sister, Gudrun, comes into equal focus, as she and Ursula search for happiness and fulfilment in the Midlands mining town of Beldover. Gudrun, an artist, embarks on an affair with coalmine owner Gerald Crich; while schoolteacher Ursula falls in love with his friend, school inspector Rupert Birkin. But while Ursula and Rupert grow closer, Gudrun and Gerald's relationship is threatened by Gerald's inability to express his emotions - and his tangled feelings for Rupert... Cassie Bradley stars as Ursula and Katie Redford as Gudrun in these stunning linked dramas about the complexity of human love. Cast and credits Written by D.H.

Women in Love The Original Manuscript

Women in Love (1920) is a novel by English author D. H. Lawrence. It is a sequel to his earlier novel The Rainbow (1915), and follows the continuing loves and lives of the Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula. Gudrun Brangwen, an artist, pursues a destructive relationship with Gerald Crich, an industrialist. Lawrence contrasts this pair with the love that develops between Ursula Brangwen and Rupert Birkin, an alienated intellectual who articulates many opinions associated with the author. The emotional relationships thus established are given further depth and tension by an intense psychological and physical attraction between Gerald and Rupert. The novel ranges over the whole of British society before the time of the First World War and eventually concludes in the snows of the Tyrolean Alps. Ursula's character draws on Lawrence's wife Frieda and Gudrun's on Katherine Mansfield, while Rupert Birkin's has elements of Lawrence himself, and Gerald Crich is partly based on Mansfield's husband, John Middleton Murry.

El amante de Lady Chatterley

Tachada de inmoral y escandalosa en su día por tratar la sexualidad y el deseo femeninos desde un punto de vista demasiado natural y desinhibido para la época, El amante de lady Chatterley es, con toda justicia, la novela más célebre y celebrada de D. H. Lawrence. El paso del tiempo y las conquistas sociales han aligerado al libro del fardo de su supuesta polémica, pero no han eclipsado ni un ápice el brillo de su belleza. Constance Chatterley, hija de intelectuales con ideales socialistas y educada en un entorno artístico, contrae matrimonio con Clifford, un joven de clase alta que se encuentra luchando en el frente, aprovechando unos días que éste tiene de permiso. Poco tiempo después, sir Clifford, que ha heredado la casa y el negocio familiares, regresa al hogar parapléjico. Este hecho, que con los años no hará sino exacerbar el carácter ya de por sí frío y cerebral de Clifford, será el detonante para que Constance, rompiendo todas las barreras de clase, mantenga un idilio carnal con el guardabosque de sus tierras, Oliver Mellors. La pasión entre ambos no será únicamente una válvula de escape de todas sus frustraciones vitales, sino también un reino afortunado al margen de todo, especialmente de las diferencias de clase y de otras injusticias (entre las cuales, sin ir más lejos, habría que contar el históricamente ignorado derecho de la mujer al placer).
