Lawrence","description":"\u003cp\u003eD. H. Lawrence is recognized as one of the greatest novelists of this century. His work is taught in schools and universities all over the world. Yet, more than thirty years after the failure to ban Lady Chatterley's Lover in England fundamentally changed the moral climate of that country and of America, Lawrence remains a controversial figure. Regarded by many women during his lifetime as a sexual prophet, in recent years his supposed misogyny has drawn fierce condemnation from feminist critics. In this new biography of Lawrence, Elaine Feinstein explores his relationships with the women in his own life, many of whom have their counterparts in his novels. She traces the obsessive nature of his love for his mother, Lydia; his difficult relationship with his first sweetheart, Jessie Chambers; his pursuit of the bisexual Helen Corke; and the failure of his youthful engagement to Louisa Burrows. She gives a fascinating account of his long, battling marriage to Frieda von Richthofen; his friendships with women writers like Katherine Mansfield and Catherine Carswell; and the attachment to Lawrence of patronesses such as Lady Ottoline Morrell, Lady Cynthia Asquith and Mabel Dodge Luhan. Lawrence and the Women investigates the paradoxes of Lawrence's personality. He was considered to have a rare understanding of women's sexuality, yet his own sexual relationships were unusually difficult. He put all his faith in the energies of the body, yet his own was frail and sickly. He argued that women needed to submit to men, but he never succeeded in dominating his own wife, Frieda. With a novelist's eye for detail and uncanny intuition about character, Elaine Feinstein probes the sources of Lawrence's attitudes toward women with candor and compassion. Always responsive to the poetry and power of his writing, she offers a fresh and surprising portrait of one of the most misunderstood literary figures of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/elaine-feinstein-books\"\u003eElaine Feinstein\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e HarperCollins Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780060921972\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Very Good — £2.02","offer_id":47908823531697,"sku":"SB-0060921978-C2","price":2.02,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0060921978.jpg?v=1789205163"},{"product_id":"survivors-the","title":"Survivors, The","description":"\u003cp\u003eNovel depicting two Jewish families who leave Russia for England and the struggles of subsequent generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/elaine-feinstein-books\"\u003eElaine Feinstein\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1982\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hutchinson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780091469702\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hutchinson","offers":[{"title":"Poor Condition — £10.25","offer_id":47908956831921,"sku":"SB-0091469708-C4","price":10.25,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0091469708.jpg?v=1789260608"},{"product_id":"the-border-1","title":"The Border","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis a story about decisions, and the difficulty making them, as Hitler's power spreads across Europe.

A fierce poise, forged by Anna's lonely childhood, carried her through her father's resistance to her writing - which prompted her to change her name from Gorenko to Akhmatova, a name taken from a Tartar ancestor - and her flawed but passionate love affairs. We see Akhmatova's work banned from 1925 until 1940, and banned again following World War II, when the Union of Soviet Writers labeled her \"half nun, half harlot.\" We see her steadfast resistance to Stalin during her hopeful but unsuccessful attempt to win her son's release from prison. We see her abiding loyalty to such friends as Mandelstam, Shostakovich and Pasternak as they faced Stalinist oppression.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"sb-details\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/elaine-feinstein-books\"\u003eElaine Feinstein\u003c\/a\u003e (all their books in stock)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 322\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Phoenix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780753820643\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Phoenix","offers":[{"title":"Standard Secondhand — £1.00","offer_id":47914068476081,"sku":"SB-0753820641-C3","price":1.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/2669\/5345\/files\/0753820641.jpg?v=1789442153"}],"url":"https:\/\/sellbooks.co.uk\/collections\/elaine-feinstein-books.oembed","provider":"Sell Books .co.uk","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
