WOMEN IN LOVE

In the love affairs of two sisters, Ursula with Rupert, and Gudrun with Gerlad, critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity and philosophical obscurity. What are the definitive forms of our relationships - love, marriage, family, friendship - really worth? And how might they be otherwise? Without directly referring to the war, 'Women in Love' explores these questions with restless energy. The novel develops experimental techniques which made Lawrence one of the most important writers of the Modernist movement. 464pp. Paperback.
