During his brief but stormy and prolific writing career and in the years following his death in 1930, D. H. Lawrence stirred up many fierce literary controversies.  An avalanche of biographies, memoirs and critical works showed how much partisanship and antagonism he inspired among his contemporaries.  Now, in the perspective of a quarter of a century, three of his novels, Sons and Lovers (No. 109), The Rainbow (No. 128) and Women in Love (No. 68), offer the best testimony to clarify his position as a writer who explored the darker labyrinths of the human soul.  Women in Love, particularly, is characteristic of Lawrence's work dealing with the physical and mystical urgency of love.
