The Love Ethic of D. H. Lawrence

"The years that have passed since D.H. Lawrence's death have increasingly revealed his importance as both artist and prophet. Unfortunately, as Mark Spilka points out, critics have assumed that these aspects of Lawrence's work are easily separated according to the critic's whims. But it is the brilliantly demonstrated contention of The Love Ethic of D.H. Lawrence that aesthetics and prophecy were both, with Lawrence, means to a greater unity of form and message--that Lawrence's ultimate aim was to 'inform and lead into new places the flow of our sympathetic consciousness'."--Back cover.
