Abstract

The greatness of D. H. Lawrence as a writer in the classic-modern period, and that which, as well, makes him a monumental figure for the distinctly religious imagination, is his combination of the modern critical and skeptical intelligence with the consistent reassertion of the Mysterium Tremendum et Fascinansof the Creative Life from which flows all meaning and being.
