ABSTRACT
Many critics consider Women in Love to be Lawrence's greatest novel. There is no room here to do anything like justice to its originality and power. Two very perceptive accounts of it, written from widely different standpoints, are by F. R. Leavis in his book D. H. Lawrence: Novelist and by Colin Clarke in River of Dissolution. All I wish to do is to comment very briefly on the relationship between The Rainbow and Women in Love.
