D. H. Lawrence

Abstract

[…] The work of D. H. Lawrence was in every way a complete antithesis to that of Mr Read. I have no hesitation in saying that Lawrence’s poetry is greater than his novels. In poetry he never entirely lost his sense of form; the purely didactic element is less; the childish prejudices, the pseudo-philosophy, the jargon, are absent; the lyrical genius is not overlaid with tedious digression.
