Each becomes involved in a love affair: Ursula with the misanthropic intellectual Rupert Birkin, and Gudrun with Gerald Crich, a successful industrialist. The contrast between the two relationships - the former happy and fulfilling, the latter tempestuous and violent - facilitates an examination of both the regenerative and destructive aspects of human passion, while the novel's Alpine climax is revelatory of the intensity of close male friendship. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHeavily revised by the author in an attempt to avoid a repeat of the controversy surrounding the publication of \u003ci\u003eThe Rainbow\u003c\/i\u003e, which had been suppressed on grounds of obscenity, \u003ci\u003eWomen in Love\u003c\/i\u003e appeared first in the US in 1920, with a British edition following the next year. Straddling the boundary between nineteenth-century realism and modernism, it was regarded by Lawrence as his most accomplished work, and is considered by many to be the author's masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Alma Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/12\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781847498984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 608","brand":"D.
