Produktbeschreibung
This first book-length study of D. H. Lawrence's lifelong engagement with music surveys his extensive musical interests and how these permeate his writing, while also situating Lawrence within a growing body of work on music and modernism. A twin focus considers the music that shaped Lawrence's novels and poetry, as well as contemporary developments in music that parallel his quest for new forms of expression. Comparisons are made with the music of Debussy, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Wagner, and British composers, including Bax, Holst and Vaughan Williams, and with the musical writings of Forster, Hardy, Hueffer (Ford), Nietzsche and Pound. Above all, by exploring Lawrence and music in historical context, this study aims to open up new areas for study and a place for Lawrence within the field of music and modernism.

Rezensionen
"Susan Reid's book is very useful in working on ... the significance of music to D. H. Lawrence and his writing. Her book performs an excellent service in gathering together musical allusions in Lawrence's various texts, noting possible musical influences on them, and in a valuable appendix itemizing settings of Lawrence's works. ... the study is definitive, and will stand as a sourcebook for any future research." (Jeremy Tambling, Modern Language Review, Vol. 116 (4), October, 2021)

"D. H. Lawrence, Music and Modernism comes highly recommended: the diversity of material it brings together from across Lawrence's career is impressive in its own right, and this range will make it an excellent springboard for future work on Lawrence and music." (Robert Jackson, The Cambridge Quarterly, Vol. 48 (4), December, 2019)
