ENGL 240H

DH Lawrence

Lawrence was immensely original. Like Tolstoy and Dostoevsky, Lawrence is a prophetic visionary intensely concerned to articulate and embody an all-embracing, profoundly existential, vision of life. Examines Lawrence's work closely after a brief exploration of modernism and Lawrence's relation to it and an examination of how conditions in post-Victorian England and events in Europe in the early 20th century contributed to the making of Lawrence's world view and his role as a controversial outsider.
