D. H. Lawrence wrote WOMEN IN LOVE in 1916, when he was living in Cornwall, reviled for his pacifism and impoverished by prosecution of his previous book, THE RAINBOW, for pornography. Undaunted, Lawrence wrote a novel that virtually defies the war and continues to explore physical enjoyment as part of the relationship between men and women. But the physical is only a part of a prolonged psychological entanglement between the sexes that sometimes seems more a kind of warfare than traditional romantic ... Read More

I first read this book when required to in college. I did not appreciate it at all -I found it boring and hated it. However, since then I've lost track of how many times I've picked this book up in my life. Sometimes I re-read it in its entirety, and on others, only excerpts that were moving to me. This book is full of scenes and passages that are so pulling on emotions and stir such deep introspective thoughts that it's almost disturbing.
The story contains characters whose relationships ... Read More

Riddled with symbolism and themes, the primary theme of the novel is defining what a committed, intimate relationship should entail--love, something less, something more, or something altogether different.
Birkin, one of the two male suitors, is Lawrence's ... Read More

Scottish novelist Catherine Carswell stated that Women In Love is, "easy to read, but hard to understand." Certainly it is difficult to understand Lawrence, but the Amazon review by Robert Moore of another of his books (The Rainbow) does a good job of describing the essence of Lawrence's literary style. Moore states that there are four ways in which The Rainbow and Women in Love, which is really a sequel, are something new in literature. The first is the general absence of plot. In Lawrence people meet and interact but there ... Read More
