D.H. Lawrence today : literature, culture, politics / [electronic resource]
Scherr, Barry J.(Barry Jeffrey),1951-
"D. H. Lawrence Today is a blend of intellectual-political history, psycho-literary biography, and literary criticism not seen in Lawrence studies since the heyday of F.R. Leavis. Barry J. Scherr provides a defense of Lawrence against his powerful enemies in the literary-cultural-political-academic world - a world dominated today by the political correctness of the elite extreme left-wing intelligentsia. Dr. Scherr employs an intense strategy to deal with Lawrence's enemies, involving unique explication de texte as well as incisive polemic."--Jacket.
