The aim of this book is twofold: to apply the basic insights of psychoanalytic thought to D. H. Lawrence and his works and to arrive at a deeper appreciation of creative processes in general. Although Lawrence himself was critical of psychoanalysis as a discipline, he nevertheless created a memorable body of fiction that probed the struggle of people trying to achieve wholeness in the face of constricting psychological and environmental obstacles. Though this creation of characters living on the edge of sanity, Lawrence portrayed with great intensity the stifling effects of an industrial social order on the sensual and creative sides of human activity. As a result, he is of lasting interest both for his fictional depiction of the problem of creativity and for his own turbulent striving toward wholeness. Informed by an attentive reading of Lawrence's total work, a thorough knowledge of his life, and a judicious application of modern psychoanalysis, A "Strange Sapience" provides a compelling account of Lawrence's artistic maturation. Dervin finds most useful those psychoanalytic writers who share an interest in self and object-relations over the earlier instinct theory of drive and defense, and those who appreciate normal developmental schemes rather than pathological patterns.

Worlds clash and forbidden love ignites. Twice a year, Lord Toric demands a selection of young women to compete for a place in his harem. Maya must get through just one more selection and then she can marry the man of her dreams. She should have been safe, but the sudden death of a girl who was meant to enter the Tournament forces Maya into the competition. Thrown into the fight of her life with no preparation, Maya must shed her innocence and win Lord Toric’s favor. And there is only one winner in the competition. The losers will be sacrificed.

Reflections on the Death of a Porcupine and Other Essays restores what Lawrence wrote.

Psalms in the Early Modern World is the first book to explore the use, interpretation, development, translation, and influence of the Psalms in the Atlantic world, 1400-1800. In the age of Reformation, when religious concerns drove political, social, cultural, economic, and scientific discourse, the Bible was the supreme document, and the Psalms were arguably its most important book.The Psalms played a central role in arbitrating the salient debates of the day, including but scarcely limited to the nature of power and the legitimacy of rule; the proper role and purpose of nations; the justification for holy war and the godliness of peace; and the relationship of individual and community to God. Contributors to the collection follow these debates around the Atlantic world, to pre- and post-Hispanic translators in Latin America, colonists in New England, mystics in Spain, the French court during the religious wars, and both Protestants and Catholics in England. Psalms in the Early Modern World showcases essays by scholars from literature, history, music, and religious studies, all of whom have expertise in the use and influence of Psalms in the early modern world. The collection reaches beyond national and confessional boundaries and to look at the ways in which Psalms touched nearly every person living in early modern Europe and any place in the world that Europeans took their cultural practices.

"Contributing to the debate about D. H. Lawrence's relationship with and fictional portrayal of women, this book discusses how the dynamic tensions of his art dramatically reenact the competing forces of psychic and relational life. In her examination of Sons and Lovers, The Rainbow, Women in Love, and various short stories, Schapiro discusses how Lawrence's best works reveal a continual struggle to recognize and be recognized by the other as an independent subject. Drawing on Jessica Benjamin's psychoanalytic theory of intersubjectivity, she also demonstrates how a breakdown of balanced subject-subject relations in his texts gives rise to defensive polarities of gender and of domination and submission."--BOOK JACKET.

This volume presents original views of the relationship between desire and romance. It begins by looking anew at the nature of desire, citing its central theoretical text as Freud's 'Beyond the Pleasure Principle'. It traces the struggle betwen myth and romance, between the ego on its way to death and the self in search of life, through close readings of poems and letters of John Keats and in detailed considerations of a series of novels including 'Frankenstein', 'Wuthering Heights', 'Jane Eyre', and 'Sons and Lovers'.

60 years after Lawrence's death, the nature of his achievement is still being debated. His vision has aroused passionate interest in many countries beyond his own. As a writer in the 20th century and as one with international standing, this book presents Lawrence "in the modern world".
