内容简介
······
Lawrence's finest, most mature novel initially met with disgust and incomprehension. In the love affairs of two sisters, Ursula with Rupert, and Gudrun with Gerald, critics could only see a sorry tale of sexual depravity and philosophical obscurity. Women in Love is, however, a profound response to a whole cultural crisis. The 'progress' of the modern industrialised world had led to the carnage of the First World War. What, then, did it mean to call ourselves 'human'? On what grounds could we place ourselves above and beyond the animal world? 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. As a sequel to The Rainbow, the novel develops experimental techniques which made Lawrence one of the most important writers of the Modernist movement.
作者简介
······
David Herbert Richards Lawrence (11 September 1885 – 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist and literary critic. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, and instinct.
Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his "savage pilgrimage." At the time of his death, his public reputation was that of a pornographer who had wasted his considerable talents. Lawrence is now valued by many as a visionary thinker and significant representative of modernism in English literature.

最奇异的阅读体验……
看电视剧才更明白这些主角男女的立场和想法，但不管是隐形同性恋的挣扎、还是害怕陷太深而不敢爱的临场退缩，都可能是充分迎合了当代口味的简化误读，因为原文真的有更多内心层次，多到常令我不置可否、困惑不解的地步。我不相信纯粹是劳伦斯太隐晦、太急切要藏匿真意。也可能真受限于我的英语水准，反而只为无数佳句吸引折服。但评判作家功力，很少只以句为单位来看吧。
women are mysteries. love is a mystery. we are never going to figure it out but we'll die trying.
这样一本书 这样一个结局 这样一些挥之不去的凄惶…
