David Herbert Lawrence ou D.H.Lawrence foi um controverso e prolífico escritor inglês, conhecido pelos seus romances, poemas e livros de viagens. A sua obra aborda temas considerados controversos no início do século XX, como as relações humanas e sexualidade e estende-se a praticamente a todos os gêneros literários. Mulheres Apaixonadas foi recusado por vários editores antes de ser publicado nos Estados Unidos em 1920. A obra causava escândalo por sua atmosfera sensual. Na verdade, o volume nada traz de apelativo ou pornográfico, apenas mostra a sexualidade como parte integrante da natureza humana. A narrativa de Mulheres apaixonadas é focada nas irmãs Úrsula e Gudrun Brangwen. A primeira tem 26 anos e é professora primária, enquanto a outra tem 25 e se dedica à escultura, tendo retornado de Londres para a casa dos pais em Beldover, onde sua irmã mais velha permanecera. As duas apresentam concepções de mundo avançadas para a época, contestando, em suas conversas, a importância do matrimônio. Mulheres apaixonadas foi considerada por D.H. Lawrence como a sua obra-prima e, sem dúvida, é uma obra que merece ser lida.

Women in Love examines the ill effects of industrialisation on the human psyche, resolving that individual and collective rebirth is possible only through human intensity and passion.

According to Wikipedia:'David Herbert Richards Lawrence (1885 – 1930) was an English writer of the 20th century, whose prolific and diverse output included novels, short stories, poems, plays, essays, travel books, paintings, translations, literary criticism and personal letters. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct. Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his life, much of which he spent in a voluntary exile he called his'savage pilgrimage.'... E. M. Forster... describing him as'the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation.'... critic F. R. Leavis championed both his artistic integrity and his moral seriousness...'

Women in Love is a novel by British author D. H. Lawrence. It is a sequel to his earlier novel The Rainbow and follows the continuing loves and lives of the Brangwen sisters, Gudrun and Ursula. Gudrun Brangwen, an artist, pursues a destructive relationship with Gerald Crich, an industrialist. Lawrence contrasts this pair with the love that develops between Ursula and Rupert Birkin, an alienated intellectual who articulates many opinions associated with the author. The emotional relationships thus established are given further depth and tension by an intense psychological and physical attraction between Gerald and Rupert. The novel ranges over the whole of British society before the time of the First World War and eventually ends high up in the snows of the Tyrolean Alps.

DH Lawrence was often at odds with the Establishment and more commonly thought of as a pornographer. Now he is admired as a great literary voice. Women In Love studies the nature of relationships between men and women through four very different characters, each of whom seeks fulfilment in their own way. Gudrun seeks an intellectual equal, while for Ursula, overwhelming love is all that will suffice; Gerald attempts to fill his emotional void with success and physicality, whereas Birkin desires total commitment from both his lover and his friend. Lawrence uses the foursome to form a complex emotional web, voicing his own views through the semi-autobiographical figure of Birkin.

Women in Love begins one blossoming spring day in England and ends with a terrible catastrophe in the snow of the Alps. Ursula and Gudrun are very different sisters who become entangled with two friends, Rupert and Gerald, who live in their hometown. The bonds between the couples quickly become intense and passionate but whether this passion is creative or destructive is unclear. In this astonishing novel, widely considered to be D.H. Lawrence's best work, he explores what it means to be human in an age of conflict and confusion. It was written during World War I, and while that conflict is never mentioned in the novel, a sense of background danger, of lurking catastrophe, continually informs its drama of two couples dynamically engaged in a struggle with themselves, with each other, and with life's intractable limitations. Lawrence was a powerful, prophetic writer, but in addition he brought such delicacy to his treatment of the human and natural worlds that E. M. Forster's claim that he was the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation does him too little justice rather than too much.(Book Jacket Status: Not Jacketed)

From one of the 20th century's preeminent novelists and poets comes this passionate tale of romance amid the chaos of modern life. D. H. Lawrence's compelling account of two couples'search for romantic fulfillment is steeped in an edgy eroticism bordering on violence. The literary world reacted with shock upon its 1921 publication: nearly a century later, the novel's psychological penetration continues to captivate readers.Women in Love reintroduces two sisters, Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, who initially appeared in Lawrence's previous novel, The Rainbow (1915). Ursula's relationship with Rupert Birkin, an introspective and misanthropic school inspector, is contrasted with that of Gudrun and Gerald Crich, an overbearing industrialist. Set in a coal-mining town in the English Midlands, their stories explore the disastrous effects of industrialization on the psyche and suggest that rebirth can be achieved only through emotional intensity.Composed at the height of the author's powers, Women in Love is the novel that Lawrence considered his masterpiece (the characters of Rupert and Ursula are widely regarded as Lawrence's depiction of himself and his wife, Frieda). Rich in symbolism and lyric prose, it offers a complex meditation on the meaning of love in a changing world.

The sequel to'The Rainbow', D. H. Lawrence's'Women in Love'follows the continuing lives and loves of Gudrun and Ursula Brangwen. This is the story of two sisters, Ursula, a teacher, and Gudrun, an artist, living in the midlands of England during the early 20th century who meet two men who live nearby, Rupert Birkin and Gerald Crich, and soon get involved with them romantically. Controversial during its time,'Women in Love'is a tragic tale of love set against the backdrop of the First World War.

Dive into a provocative coming-of-age story that challenged the vestiges of England's Edwardian-era sexual mores. A continuation of a fictional arc that D.H. Lawrence began in a previous novel, The Rainbow, Women in Love explores the romantic entanglements and love affairs of the sisters Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen.

`New eyes were opened in her soul. She saw a strange creature from another world, in him. It was as if she were enchanted, and everything were metamorphosed.'In Women in Love (1920), Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, who first appeared in Lawrence's earlier novel, The Rainbow, take centre stage as Lawrence explores their growth and development in their relationships with two powerful men, Rupert Birkin and his friend Gerald Crich. A novel of regeneration and dark, destructive human passion, Women in Love reflects the impact on Lawrence of the First World War in the potential both for annihilation and salvation of the self. Quintessentially modernist, Women is Love is one of Lawrence's most extraordinary, innovative and unsettling works.
