註釋This innovative study of eight major works of fiction by D. H. Lawrence examines the dominant presence of what is here termed a â oemarriage matrix.â It reveals how this intense pattern of preoccupation not only structures the symbology and plot development of these powerful stories, but also consistently engages with such important subjects in Lawrenceâ (TM)s life as depression, illness, friendship, renewal, transcendence, and impotence. As a compelling interpretation of Lawrenceâ (TM)s craft and a provocative foray into the intimations of psychobiography, the bookâ (TM)s notions of â oesynergistic criticismâ integrate various approaches to this modernist writer to reveal provocative linkages between his visionary art and turbulent career and marriage. The volume contains well-grounded speculations on the sexual life of Lawrence and Frieda, on the oedipal residue of Lawrenceâ (TM)s relation to his parents, on the complex friendships with Cynthia Asquith, J. Middleton Murry, and Katherine Mansfield, and on the theories of James Frazer, Sigmund and Anna Freud, James W. Pryse, Peter Ouspensky, and Norman Mailer. The Marriage Matrix also reproduces six paintings by Lawrence and one by Georgia Oâ (TM)Keeffe within pertinent discussions of Lawrenceâ (TM)s practice and theory of visual art and how they further enhance the priorities of his fiction. To further contextualize the bookâ (TM)s eclectic approach to impinging issues about the current province of research, teaching, and literature, the texts of two of the authorâ (TM)s controversial presentations to the academy are also included, as well as relevant correspondence with the late writer, Norman Mailer, on the subject of Lawrenceâ (TM)s genius and influence.
