okay..favorite D.H. Lawrence

[WWW]

Sons and Lovers for me...

1. "Sons and Lovers" is a D.H. Lawrence Novel

Perhaps you meant Thomas Hardy. I like "Tess of the D'Urbervilles." Or maybe a Thomas Harding wrote his own "Sons and Lovers" and I am ignorant of that book.

3. I am so sorry, yes I was thinking of D. H. Lawrence...n/t

5. That is funny. I was just Googling "Thomas Harding"

I thought he was a newer writer who adapts (or appropriates) famous texts. Kathy Acker was one of the best at that techniques some foolishly call plagiarism. I thought maybe I had slipped up.

2. Return of the Native

I like his poetry too.

4. Thomas HARDY wrote "Return of the Native" not HARDING

And yes he was a wonderful, skilled poet whose stature increases in the world of Posey as I write this post.

6. Yes, you are right...

I had so many threads going, I lost my train of thought and misposted, thanks for correcting me...I was thinking Thomas Hardy and then Sons and Lovers popped into my head and I did not re-read my thread headers...

7. Women in Love

but I tend to weep unabashedly at the drowning scene.

8. I loved Madame Bovary

Just kidding :), though I do love that book by Flaubert. A funny fact is that Flaubert gives Madame Bovary, or Emma, blue eyes in one chapter, gray in another--and in one chapter describes her eyes as 2 different colors in the same chapter.

I do love D. H. Lawrence's poetry. So much of it is awful--but when he shines it is wonderful to read and memorize. And his essays on poetry are the best.

9. Lady Chatterly's Lover.
