David Herbert Richards Lawrence was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality 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. E. M. Forster, in an obituary notice, challenged this widely held view, describing him as "the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation." Later, the influential Cambridge critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness, placing much of Lawrence's fiction within the canonical "great tradition" of the English novel. He is now generally valued as a visionary thinker and a significant representative of modernism in English literature, although some feminists object to the attitudes toward women and sexuality found in his works.
Originally published abroad in 1928, and unavailable in Britain until 1960 when it was the subject of an infamous obscenity trial, Lady Chatterley's Lover is now regarded as one of the pivotal novels of the 20th century. Lawrence's determination to explore every aspect—sexual, social, psychological—of Lady Chatterley's adulterous liaison with the gamekeeper Oliver Mellors makes for a profound meditation on the human condition, the forces of nature, and the social constraints that people struggle to overcome. Lawrence's final novel—here presented in the more explicit 1927 version which he described as "so improper that it'll never be printed"—confirms his standing as one of the most eminent fiction writers that England has produced.
我实在不明白人民文学出版社非要在封面上加上一句“本书曾在英国和美国遭禁三十余年”,虽是一说明事实的陈述句,但背后总有深意,旁敲侧击,我就不信是他们说者无意,我听着有心。然后,封底上一句“引起轩然大波的是书中一些露骨的性爱描写……”,并注明选自一本名叫《20世...

评分我读这本书的经历颇曲折。 首先是先看了2006年的同名电影,风景美、衣服也漂亮,女主和男主对话很少,情绪全靠镜头累积。 接着很无耻地下了饶述一版本的电子书,可惜所有的电子书版本都充满了错别字,一开始还能靠想象力进行自动纠错,坚持到一半就不行了,于是机缘巧合地反复...
评分一个细节是,大卫·赫伯特·劳伦斯,年少时的贮币盒里空空如也。他和19世纪末20世纪初所有煤矿工人的孩子一样贫穷,抬眼只能看见莽荡荒原。他的父亲像土地一样贫瘠而血气旺盛,他那做教师的母亲得不时承当丈夫的求欢之请,然后一个接一个生孩子,让家庭越来越贫穷……劳伦斯是...
评分关于文本的孰是孰非 纳博科夫曾经给好小说立下如此标竿: “在我以为,小说之所以存在,是因为它带给我(勉为其难地称之为)审美的福祉,一种不知怎么,不知何地,与存在的另一种状态相联系起来的感觉,艺术(好奇心、柔情、善意和迷狂)是那种状态的准则。” 纳博科夫以此...
