Description

Explore the complex relationship between D. H. Lawrence and the English Romantic tradition in this scholarly work from Routledge. Originally published in 1969, River of Dissolution examines Lawrence's nuanced views on corruption and the concept of will. The text provides a deep look into his perspectives on sensational or disintegrative sex, presenting an argument that his stance is more equivocal than many critics suggest. This study traces a specific tradition of metaphor starting from the second half of the eighteenth century. It follows this literary lineage through the major Romantic poets and into the Decadent movement, eventually reaching Lawrence. By connecting these eras, the book illustrates how Lawrence's views on mechanism and corruption are articulated within a broader historical context. This title is an essential resource for students and academics interested in literary theory, the history of English Romanticism, and the evolution of poetic metaphor.
