A classic Lawrentian tale of passionate love and ruined lives. Critic Lee
Siegel argues in his Introduction that it's Lawrence's best novel and that
readers today will at last understand why.This Modern Library version is ideal
for reading groups. Alvina Houghton's tale of middle-class repression and her
elopement with a handsome Italian circus performer will lead to many
discussions. A reading group guide will be bound into the book. Also includes
endnotes by top Lawrence scholar, Keith Cushman.
