Bücher von D. H. Lawrence

"Studier i klassisk amerikansk litteratur (1923)" er en samling af litteratur- og samfundskritiske essays, der tager deres udgangspunkt i en række amerikanske forfatterskaber fra det 18. og 19. århundrede. Blandt de behandlede forfattere er Benjamin Franklin, Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne og Herman Melville. Bogen forholder sig til den amerikanske kultur som den afspejles i værkerne, og fremhæver især forskellene mellem amerikansk og europæisk mentalitet, et emne, som ikke mindst i lyset af den seneste politiske udvikling i USA har fået fornyet aktualitet. Oversætteren, Viggo Hjørnager Pedersen (f. 1941), er dr. phil. og forhenværende lektor i engelsk ved Københavns Universitet. Han har skrevet en række bøger og artikler om litteratur og om oversættelsesvidenskab. Studier i klassisk amerikansk litteratur er oversat fra Studies in Classic American Literature, udg. 1923 i USA af Thomas Seltzer, og i Storbritannien 1924 af William Heinemann. Copyright for den danske oversættelse: Viggo Hjørnager Pedersen 2017.

Over a century before 50 Shades of Grey, novels of feminine passions had been setting the stage and bending the morals laws which made erotica novels possible. Fanny Hill is an erotic novel by English novelist John Cleland. One of the most prosecuted and banned books in history, it has become a synonym for obscenity. Venus in Furs is a novella by the Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, and the best known of his works. The novel draws themes, like female dominance and sadomasochism, and character inspiration heavily from Sacher-Masoch's own life. Lady Chatterley's Lover is a novel by D. H. Lawrence, The book soon became notorious for its story of the physical (and emotional) relationship between a working-class man and an upper-class woman, its explicit descriptions of sex, and its use of then-unprintable words. This edition is a collection of these three erotica classics, perfect for study or inspiration for your own writing muse.

Studies in Classic American Literature [...] is at once a work of cultural criticism, a study and critique of American myths, a meditation on the relationship between the Old World and the New, a new theory of the self ... and one of the greatest covert autobiographies in world literature.

Also the War was over, and there was a sense of relief that was almost a new menace. A man felt the violence of the nightmare released now into the general air. Also there had been another wrangle among the men on the pit-bank that evening. Aaron Sisson was the last man on the little black railway-line climbing the hill home from work. He was late because he had attended a meeting of the men on the bank. He was secretary to the Miners Union for his colliery, and had heard a good deal of silly wrangling that left him nettled.

'Birds, Beasts and Flowers' is one of the greatest books by an English poet in the twentieth century. Of Melville's achievement in Moby Dick, Lawrence says, when he 'gives us his sheer apprehension of the world, then he is wonderful, his book commands a stillness in the soul, an awe'. This is what Lawrence himself achieves in this volume.

Lawrence ... describes these poems as "intended as an essential story, or history, or confession", the critical experience occurring in the period of, "roughly, the sixth lustre of a man's life"-that is, from the age of 25 to 30. His Argument emphasizes the dramatic nature of the sequence.

This first complete edition of Lawrence's plays contains eight full-length plays and two fragments. Until now, the plays have existed only in faulty or incomplete texts. This edition, drawn from Lawrence's manuscripts, makes it possible for the first time to read and to stage Lawrence's plays as he wrote them.

One of the great works of twentieth-century literature, now printed in full.

This 1989 edition of D. H. Lawrence's The Rainbow gives the composition history and collates the surviving states of the text.

This book is a critical edition of D. H. Lawrence's complete essays about Mexican and Southwestern Indians. The texts are informed by all extant manuscripts, typescripts, and early publications, with a full textual apparatus revealing Lawrence's revisions. The volume includes extensive notes and appendices with information on Mesoamerican mythology and history.

Written in D. H. Lawrence's most productive period, 'Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious' (1921) and 'Fantasia of the Unconscious' (1922) were undertaken initially in response to psychoanalytic criticism of his novel Sons and Lovers. They soon developed more generally to propose an alternative to what Lawrence perceived as the Freudian psychoanalytic theory of the unconscious and the incest motive. The essays also develop his ideas about the upbringing and education of children, about marriage, and about social and even political action. Lawrence described them as 'this pseudo-philosophy of mine which was deduced from the novels and poems, not the reverse. The absolute need one has for some sort of satisfactory mental attitude towards oneself and things in general makes one try to abstract some definite conclusions from one's experiences as a writer and as a man'. These conclusions form an illuminating guide to his works and therein lies their peculiar value.

This edition of the original Quetzalcoatl, an early version of The Plumed Serpent, includes a record of all revisions and an introduction outlining its compositional history. Its publication here means that all Lawrence's novels, in their first, intermediate and final versions, are now available in the Cambridge edition.
