Abstract
[…] D. H. Lawrence, writing to Edward Garnett in 1914, justified his novel The Rainbow on the grounds that he was not concerned with creating the pattern of the ‘old stable ego of character,’ but ‘another ego, according to whose action the individual is unrecognizable, and passes through, as it were, allotropic states which it needs a deeper sense than any we’ve been used to exercise, to discover are states of the same radically unchanged element.’
