This number of the JDHLS is dedicated to their memory, to commemorate their significant contributions to Lawrence scholar- ship, and the study of Lawrence‟s life and work, over many years. I would like to thank the contributors for their hard work, patience and co-operation; Paul Redmond for his assistance; Jonathan Long for his generous work on behalf of the journal and the Society; John Worthen for his advice and editorial contributions; the D. H. Lawrence Society for its continuing support of the JDHLS; and my colleagues at the University of Nottingham for their support and encouragement. Victoria Manthorpe has provided two corrigenda notes relating to her article, „Ernest Weekley and D. H. Lawrence: Education and Language‟, JDHLS, Vol. 2, No. 2 (2010): 1. Page 90 line 1: Ernest Weekely (1865-1945) should read Ernest Weekley (1865-1954) 2. Page 111, Note 2: Muriel Lough (née Barker 1913-1988) should read Muriel Lough (née Barker 1913-1998) In addition, James T. Boulton has kindly provided the following note: With reference to the photograph on p. 102 of the article on Ernest Weekley, I believe that the young woman sitting on the ground near Weekley‟s left leg was Monica Alice McMain, later Partridge following her marriage in 1937 to William (Bill) Partridge. She graduated at Nottingham in 1936 having read French with Latin; Janko Lavrin appointed her as his tutorial assistant. She became a lecturer and eventually (in 1967) Professor in the Department of Slavonic Languages; she retired in 1980 and died in 2008. Bill Partridge was distinguished in his own right: he became Professor of Pharmaceutical Chemistry; he was also a fine painter, a member of the St Ives Group. He and Monica collected paintings in watercolour, a collection which was bequeathed to Pembroke College, Cambridge. Holders of unpublished manuscript letters by or to D. H. Lawrence, and researchers who have located unpublished letters in archives, are encouraged to make these available for publication by contacting either the Editor ([email protected]) or John Worthen ([email protected]). Individuals wishing to submit work with a view to publishing it in the JDHLS are invited to contact the Editor via e-mail in the first instance ([email protected]). Submissions are refereed by two members of the Editorial Board. Once an essay has been accepted for publication a style sheet will be forwarded to the author. The Editor and Society are grateful to Laurence Pollinger Ltd, the Trustees of the Estate of Frieda Lawrence Ravagli, for permission to quote from copyright material.

PAUL POPLAWSKI Introduction The material presented here completes the task, begun in the last issue of the JDHLS, of providing a ten-year supplement to the third edition of A Bibliography of D. H. Lawrence. In that issue, I dealt with sections A (primary works by Lawrence) and F (secondary or critical works). Here, I provide corrections, additions and updates to the remaining sections, B, C, D and E. Section B gives biblio- graphical details of the first editions of books (including some pamphlets and catalogues) which contain previously unpublished material by Lawrence. For evident reasons, it is now rare for major new items of this kind to appear, and the relevant section below mostly contains corrections or revisions to existing entries in the third edition and adds only three new entries. Section C lists the first periodical printings of previously unpublished works by Lawrence – and although, again, one would not expect to see many new entries appearing here, my supplement makes a number of important revisions and corrections to the section, and does in fact add several newly-discovered items from the past (mainly deriving from Christopher Pollnitz’s researches for the forthcoming Cambridge Poems), along with a few more recent items. Section E provides locations and brief descriptive details of Lawrence’s known manuscripts, and for this section, too, my supplement mostly makes corrections and revisions and adds only a small number of new items. By contrast, my update to Section D – which gives details of translations of Lawrence’s works – adds a huge 12 Paul Poplawski number of new items, including both recent translations and newly- discovered ones from the past.1 The nature of this section, unlike the others dealt with here, means that it can, in principle, continue to grow ad infinitum, but the fact that it has expanded quite so enormously since the previous edition of the Bibliography bears striking witness to Lawrence’s continuing and widespread relevance to readers around the world.2 Corrections, additions and updates References are to the third edition of the Bibliography, indicating existing item numbers and, often, page and line numbers – e.g., (C22) 457:8. For Section D, only item numbers are generally given. 1 Some 484 translations have been added here, along with several new language sub-sections. With the translations already listed in the third edition of the Bibliography, this means that, since the first (German) translation of 1922 (of The Rainbow) there have been at least 1041 separate book-length translations of Lawrence’s works in 43 different languages (and it almost certain that there are further existing translations still to be identified and recorded). 2 For their invaluable help with this supplement, I am extremely grateful to the following: Bingbin Bi (Hei Ma), Keith Cushman, Nick Ceramella, Simonetta de Filippis, Jay Gertzman, Andrew Harrison, Virginia Hyde, Christa Jansohn, Jeff Jones, Gigi Joseph, Petr Krul, Jonathan Long, John Martin, Dieter Mehl, Stefania Michelucci, Masami Nakabayashi, Christopher Pollnitz, Neil Reeve, Natalya Reinhold, Betsy Sargent, Maria Smirnova, Roy Spencer, Sara Timby (Stanford University Libraries), Lin Vasey, John and Conni Worthen. Peter Preston’s many fields of expertise within Lawrence studies included bibliography and I am deeply indebted to him for freely sharing his knowledge, books and enthusiasm with me. His presiding inspiration helped me to complete this work and I dedicate it to his memory. Bibliography: Corrections, Additions and Updates 13 SECTION B (B5) 390:10 Add at end of entry: See also (B12). (B12) 394:22 Add at end of entry: See also (B5) (B14) 396:3 Replace sentence beginning See also … with: Lawrence’s “Introduction” was printed separately for the first time in 1937 as “The Portrait of M. M.” in Woollcott’s Second Reader (Viking Press, New York); the text was taken from Knopf’s edition and was reprinted, with the same title, in 1960 in the noble savage (C243.3). A short extract from the “Introduction” appeared in Richard Aldington’s 1935 The Spirit of Place (A72) (and see also (A112) for a further appearance in extract form). The whole essay was reprinted in Phoenix II (A108) (and see also (A115.5)). The manuscript (E233.7) is entitled “Memoir of Maurice Magnus” and has been published as such in (A137) and (A167). (B25.5) 404:5 Add page references after German title: pp. 135–43 (B26) 404:20 In the second line of the notes, for 1928 read 1929; then add the following sentence to the end of this paragraph: In fact, we now know that Lawrence received proofs of the novel in February 1929 and had completed the “Introduction” by the 24th of that month.

A Publication of the D. H.

Studies, vol. 4.1 (2015) 15 THE RAINBOW: A MISCELLANY JONATHAN LONG In the year that Lawrentians are celebrating the centenary of the publication of The Rainbow, it is timely to be able to publish for the first time a facsimile of the manuscript of a limerick that Lawrence composed on the title page of a copy of the first edition of that book (see Figure 2 opposite). Before I comment on the limerick, it is an opportune moment to say something about the publication history of the book. The Rainbow was published by Methuen on 30 September 1915 and was to be the only book by or about Lawrence that he published during Lawrence’s lifetime. In line with the publication figures for Lawrence’s earlier novels, it was a modest project. There appear to have been only 2,527 sets of sheets printed by Hazell, Watson and Viney, including eleven destined to be travellers’ copies.

  • Sons and Lovers.Pdf
    Sons and Lovers By drs. J.A.Goris Sons and Lovers was started in the latter part of 1910 but revised and rewritten several times during the time Lawrence worked in Croydon as a pupil teacher. He finished it in 1912, after he eloped with Frieda to Gargnano. It is based on Lawrence's own life. Published in 1913, it is possibly the most widely read English novel of the twentieth century. The book falls into two parts. The first describes the early married life of a coal miner and his wife, and also the youth and adolescence of their children. The miner, Morel, is illiterate, and no match for his wife who is a former pupil-teacher with aspirations towards the middle classes. What for the most part is shown to the reader is a sustained, exhausting conflict between husband and wife. The second part is virtually a different book, with Paul Morel's growing up and his awakening to the possibilities of the world as its main subject, seen in association with the chronicle of the early family life of the Morels in the first half. The novel capitalizes on the Bildungsroman, a form of fiction that allows the novelist to recreate through the maturing of his protagonist some of his own intensity of experience. In Ireland there is the example of James Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, published in 1916. Sons and Lovers marks a great advance for Lawrence when compared to the two novels he had written before. 'Sons and Lovers, far more than The Trespasser,' says Philip Hobsbaum in his Reader's Guide1, 'is the logical and welcome development out of The White Peacock.' In a letter dated 18 October 1910, Lawrence's own comment says: 'Paul Morel' (as he initially planned to call Sons and Lovers) 'will be a novel - not a florid prose poem, or a decorated idyll running to seed in idealism: but a restrained, somewhat impersonal novel' 2.

  • Man - Woman Relationship and Oedipus Complex in D H Lawrence
    Man - Woman Relationship and Oedipus Complex in D H Lawrence Dr. Priyanka Pasari Research Project Fellow, Department of English, MJB Govt Girls PG College , Indore D H Lawrence, born in 1885, was regarded as a great novelist of early 20th Century. He was brought up in a tense atmosphere due to the constant discord between his parents.. He was much impressed by his mother whom he used to love and respect from the bottom of his heart. he also wrote short stories, essay travel books and criticism, yet he is most remembered for his great novels The White Peacock (1911), The Trespasser (1912) , and Sons and Lovers (1913). Sons and Lovers was Lawrence‟s masterpiece which raised him to the level of eminent men of letters of England. It was written chiefly in an autobiographical style with his favorite setting of meaning area. In this novel, Lawrence made a fine blending of love and hatred. He showed powerful attachment with his mother and a high sense of bitterness and hatred as a sensitivity of a young man. It is highly powerful novel with deep sincerity in dealing with his strong bond and feelings regarding mother and son relationship. The feelings „love‟ and hatred have been expressed with powerful intensity. It presents a fine picture of relationship between man and woman, psycho-analysis and natural beauty in the most effective style. The Rainbow (1915) ,least autobiographical one, centers around man- woman relationship. Here, Lawrence has mainly dealt with the theme of „marriage‟. The writer describes the family history of Brongwens covering a period of three generations.
