What does /lit/ think of DH Lawrence?

>>8011335
P good.

I like his poems about animals.

On paper, I ought to hate him. But I like his poems. In spite of being god damned free verse &c.

>>8011740
It's not free verse. It's based on the literary style of the King James Bible

>It's not free verse. It's based on [not meter]

fuck off

Good writer.

Check out his essay, "Why the Novel Matters"

His poetry does have meter, though. It just isn't regular.

I've never seen him discussed here. Of the novels, which one should I start with?

>>8011997
I haven't read everything by him so I'm not sure if I can offer any input here but The Rainbow is fucking really good and Women in Love is even better. You don't have to read one to enjoy the other, but if you do then you should definitely do it in the right order.

Kangaroo

>>8011997
Sons and Lovers

>>8011997
Sons and Lovers is his first major novel and his most well-known

I thought it was alright. Have meant to get round to The Rainbow.
