Description
The works of the English novelist D.H.Lawrence (1885-1930) cover fiction, poetry, drama and essays as well as several volumes of letters. This work is intended as an introduction to the study of this writer by way of the linguistic resources available to him. This involves some discussion of the contexts of his writing - for example of the state of literary language during the first two decades of the 20th century, of Lawrence's own background and of his attitudes towards literature and towards society. The author has concentrated on Lawrence's fiction and therefore has largely confined himself to discussion of the language of prose. This has also enabled some discussion of the language of Lawrence's letters and of his non-fictional prose. The plays are omitted altogether, but there is a chapter on the language of poetry.
