This volume focuses on three widely-studied novels: Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow and Women in Love. Chapters on narrative texture, impulse and emotion in Lawrence's characters, the quest for a male-female relationship, class and society, and imagery, symbols and structures, use practical analysis to build and refine our insight into the novels as well as equipping the readers with techniques and approaches which enable them to continue studying Lawrence independently. Suggestions for further reading, fully explained examples of analysis and suggestions for further work, make this volume both accessible and a bridge to further study.
