Women in Love was written in the years before and during World War I. Criticized for its exploration of human sexuality, the novel is filled with symbolism and poetry--and is compulsively entertaining.
The story opens with sisters Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, characters who also appeared in The Rainbow, discussing marriage, then walking through a haunting landscape ruined by coal mines, smoking factories, and sooty dwellings. Soon Gudrun will choose Gerald, the icily handsome mining industrialist, as her lover; Ursula will become involved with Birkin, a school inspector--and an erotic interweaving of souls and bodies begins. One couple will find love, the other death, in Lawrence's lush, powerfully crafted fifth novel, one of his masterpieces and the work that may best convey his beliefs about sex, love, and humankind's ongoing struggle between the forces of destruction and life.
"the point about love, is that we hate the word because we have vulgarized it. It ought to be proscribed, tabooed from utterance, for many years, till we get a new, better idea."

劳伦斯手里的人物都太深刻,深刻到让所有评论都显得苍白无力。

因为要写论文,读了第三遍,但是是第一遍仔仔细细地读完英文,对我而言成了一场两个星期的大长征。读的时候发现自己总是不由自主地一会儿就想走神,后来仔细想想可能是劳伦斯的阴郁、精辟、理想一波波地涌过来,我也需要从水里出来喘个气吧。(当时评论家第一次读劳伦斯的作品时以为是个女作家😁)
