About this audiobook
Lawrence reviews the enduring works of Benjamin Franklin, Hector St. John de Crevecoeur, James Fenimore Cooper, Edgar Allan Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Richard Henry Dana, Jr., Herman Melville, and Walt Whitman, and states his belief that “the proper function of a critic is to save the tale from the artist who created it”.
A work that critics have described as pioneering and landmark, Studies in Classic American Literature is a lasting example of Lawrence's passion, understanding and independent thinking, and a wonderful insight into meaningful American literature.
D. H. Lawrence
David Herbert Lawrence, (185-1930) more commonly known as D.H Lawrence was a British writer and poet often surrounded by controversy. His works explored issues of sexuality, emotional health, masculinity, and reflected on the dehumanizing effects of industrialization. Lawrence’s opinions acquired him many enemies, censorship, and prosecution. Because of this, he lived the majority of his second half of life in a self-imposed exile. Despite the controversy and criticism, he posthumously was championed for his artistic integrity and moral severity.
