Women in Love continues the story of Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen, begun in The Rainbow
The Brangwen sisters are now teachers in Beldover, a small town dominated by the great colliery that seems to express the full dehumanizing ugliness of industrialization. Here Ursula falls in love with Birkin - in some ways a self-portrait of Lawrence - while Gudrun has a tragic and demoniac affair with Gerald, son of the colliery owner.
As these four clash in thought, passion and belief, Lawrence opens up a vision of the futility and destructiveness of human relations. Yet in the character of Ursula he fulfils a promise to show 'woman becoming individual'; and as Birkin's relationships with both Ursula and Gerald develop, Lawrence allows us to believe that the old destructive' sexuality can be transcended, offering the possibility of regeneration.
This edition uses the full text published privately by
Thomas Seltzer in New York in 1920
