L-G-0007634423-0013485298.Pdf The Life of D. H. Lawrence BlacKWELL CRITIcal BIOGRAPHIES General Editor: Claude Rawson This acclaimed series offers informative and durable biographies of important authors, British, European and North American, which will include substantial critical discussion of their works. An underlying objective is to re‐establish the notion that books are written by people who lived in particular times and places. This objective is pursued not by programmatic assertions or strenuous point‐making, but through the practical persuasion of volumes which offer intelligent criticism within a well‐researched biographical context. Also in this series The Life of Walter Scott The Life of Evelyn Waugh John Sutherland Douglas Lane Patey The Life of William Faulkner The Life of Goethe Richard Gray John R. Williams The Life of Thomas Hardy The Life of W. B. Yeats Paul Turner Terence Brown The Life of Celine The Life of John Milton Nicholas Hewitt Barbara Lewalski The Life of Henry Fielding The Life of Samuel Johnson Ronald Paulson Robert DeMaria, Jr The Life of Robert Browning The Life of Ann Brontë Clyde De L.

It’ll not be the soul of me when I was a lad for I hadn’t a soul as would make me an angel then”, voicing an important Lawrentian truth. For Lawrence, “the great relationship” is the relationship between man and woman and the ultimate aspiration of life is to perfect one’s essential being which can only be achieved when an individual is able to polarize his or her primal consciousness with that of another. This paper traces the trajectory of Lawrence’s concept of love and selfhood through his novels. In his early novels such as The White Peacock (1911), Sons and Lovers (1913) and The Rainbow (1915), Lawrence displays a lot of faith in individual relationships which, in fact, become the medium for the self to realize itself.

  • A Study of the Captain's Doll
    A Study of The Captain’s Doll 論 文 A Study of The Captain’s Doll: A Life of “a Hard Destiny” YAMADA Akiko 要 旨 英語題名を和訳すると，「『大尉の人形』研究──「厳しい宿命」の人 生──」になる。1923年に出版された『大尉の人形』は『恋する女たち』， 『狐』及び『アルヴァイナの堕落』等の小説や中編小説と同じ頃に執筆さ れた D. H. ロレンスの中編小説である。これらの作品群は多かれ少なかれ 類似したテーマを持っている。 時代背景は第一次世界大戦直後であり，作品の前半の場所はイギリス軍 占領下のドイツである。主人公であるヘプバーン大尉はイギリス軍に所属 しておりドイツに来たが，そこでハンネレという女性と恋愛関係になる。し かし彼にはイギリスに妻子がいて，二人の情事を噂で聞きつけた妻は，ドイ ツへやってきて二人の仲を阻止しようとする。妻は，生計を立てるために人 形を作って売っていたハンネレが，愛する大尉をモデルにして作った人形 を見て，それを購入したいと言うのだが，彼女の手に渡ることはなかった。 妻は事故で死に，ヘプバーンは新しい人生をハンネレと始めようと思う が，それはこれまでの愛し愛される関係ではなくて，女性に自分を敬愛し 従うことを求める関係である。筆者は，本論において，この関係を男性優 位の関係と捉えるのではなくて，ロレンスが「星の均衡」の関係を求めて いることを論じる。 キーワード：人形的人間，月と星々，敬愛と従順，魔力，太陽と氷河 1 愛知大学 言語と文化 No. 38 Introduction The Captain’s Doll by D. H. Lawrence was published in 1923, and The Fox (1922) and The Ladybird (1923) were published almost at the same time. A few years before Women in Love (1920) and The Lost Girl (1921) had been published, too. These novellas and novels have more or less a common theme which is the new relationship between man and woman. The doll is modeled on a captain in the British army occupying Germany after World War I. The maker of the doll is a refugee aristocrat named Countess Johanna zu Rassentlow, also called Hannele, a single woman. She is Captain Hepburn’s mistress. His wife and children live in England. Hannele and Mitchka who is Hannele’s friend and roommate, make and sell dolls and other beautiful things for a living. Mitchka has a working house. But the captain’s doll was not made to sell but because of Hannele’s love for him. The doll has a symbolic meaning in that he is a puppet of both women, his wife and his mistress.

INGERSOLL As Marina Ragachewskaya has recently indicated in this journal, Lawrence’s interest in the art of dance has received renewed attention in the 2010s.1 The subject has been thought to have opened with two notable investigations:2 ‘D. H. Lawrence and the Dance’ (1992) by Mark Kinkead-Weekes and then ‘Music and Dance in D. H. Lawrence’ (1997) by Elgin W. Mellown, who apparently was unaware that Kinkead-Weekes had blazed the trail before him, since his article contains no mention of this earlier work.3 Another writer who missed Kinkead-Weekes’s article, with its endnote citations from Martin Green’s Mountain of Truth: The Counterculture Begins, Ascona, 1900‒1920, was Terri Ann Mester, whose interpretations of dance scenes in Lawrence’s fiction could have benefited from even a cursory reading of Green’s 1986 study.4 Mester cites Deborah Jowitt’s Time and the Dancing Image, but she does not explore Jowitt’s very brief commentary upon Rudolf Laban and Mary Wigman, which might have provided her with yet another avenue of access to Green’s Mountain of Truth.5 To close this circle, Kinkead-Weekes then responded to Mester’s monograph in his keynote address at the 2003 International D.

Lawrence’s inscription on the title page of a first edition copy of The Rainbow (1915). Journal of 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.
