Lawrence as Moralist
Korg, Jacob | August 11, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

This article discusses the book "D.H. Lawrence: Novelist," by F.R. Leavis. Leavis thinks of D.H. Lawrence and T.S. Eliot as the representatives of the two leading rival tendencies in contemporary literature, it is natural that he should devote so much of his book to a defense of Lawrence against Eliot. Eliot's objections that Lawrence was poorly educated, isolated from a living tradition and indifferent to moral and social issues are not so much opinions about Lawrence as pointed suggestions of what tradition, education, morality and society should be.
