The Hidden D. H. Lawrence

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In this imaginative and rapturous reading of D.H. Lawrence, Myron Tuman tunes in to the writer's "winter prose," or the interior fixation that drove his literary imagination, finding textual evidence of his complex erotic yearning to be the recipient of a virile male lover."

- Rachel Cleves, author of Unspeakable, a biography of Norman Douglas

"Myron Tuman deftly ranges across Lawrence's biography and oeuvre to uncover and explore the homoerotism that so often appears in disguise. Tuman not only surfaces Lawrence's attraction to the male body, he also illuminates the connection of this underlying trope to the quality of Lawrence's writings. The interpretation that, at its most lyrical, Lawrence's prose involves male-male desire is persuasive and a welcome addition to the literature on homoeroticism in Lawrence."

- Judith Ruderman, author of Race and Identity in D. H. Lawrence

"In The Hidden D. H. Lawrence, Myron Tuman sets out to demonstrate Lawrence's lifelong fascination with the image of a strong, silent male. He argues that this Jamesian "figure in the carpet" animates much of Lawrence's greatest writing. The Hidden D. H. Lawrence offers a fascinating new perspective on the full range of Lawrence's novels and stories."
