The Commercial Press "World Literary Writing Essays" Series of "Lawrence Reading Essays"
D.H. Lawrence, author of "Madame Chatterley's Lover" and famous British writer, talks about novels, poetry, and art.
D.H. Lawrence's novels are already familiar to a wide range of readers, and his poems, essays, reviews, and paintings, which represent another aspect of Lawrence, are also extremely spiritual, passionate, and imaginative.
"It's a comical superstition. If my hand can write these words so wisely, why should I think that it is nothing compared to the mind that directs it? -- D.H. Lawrence
Recognize another side of genius
Lawrence was a genius who earned a worldwide reputation for his spiritual, life-threatening and speculative fiction, and was an important poet of the 20th century. But his critical essays on literature and reading are equally valuable. These essays are full of passion and personality, with a clear attitude and a strong speculative color. This book is Lawrence's collection of reading and art essays, including his masterpiece on American writers and works, "Studies in American Classic Literature", the serious work "Thomas Hardy's Study", the famous review "Defending Madame Chatterley's Lover", and more than ten essays on fiction, poetry, and painting, leading us to another aspect of genius.
A rare masterpiece in literary criticism, full of personality, an introductory reading for novelists
Different from the delicacy of the novel, Lawrence's reading essay is sharp, passionate and personality, expressing many bold and avant-garde views at the time, and has his own unique insight into the current situation of the creation of the master Tolstoy, the novelist Joyce and the Anglo-American novel, full of humor, and it is still refreshing to read today. Among them, "American Classic Literature Studies" is known as "one of the rare masterpieces in modern literary criticism", combined with social history to conduct an in-depth analysis of American literature and literary creation, which can not only help us better understand the creative ideas of this genius novelist, but also be one of the introductory readings for novel criticism and novel creation.
Unfortunately, these works, which show the profile of genius, have not made waves in the world. Lawrence's poems, essays, commentaries, and paintings were almost obliterated in the dust of time. Some argue that these reviews cannot be called creations; others argue that Lawrence was too casual in writing his commentaries and did not care to establish a rigorous system of philosophical theories that would make it difficult for the reader to get a clue.
In fact, Lawrence's creations and reviews have certain trajectories, theories and guidelines to follow. However, since his views were never uniformly summarized, they were scattered among his critical essays and letters. What this book does is to introduce us a little bit and give us a deeper understanding of this genius.
"Since it is a pearl, it will still shine when it wipes away the dust; since it is the torrent of life, it must have a shocking impact." -- Chen Qingxun
Through the profile of genius, watch Lawrence show in a different way that "artistic language is the only truth".
