D.H. Lawrence; The Failure and Triumph of Art by Eliseo Vivas is a substantial critical study of the work of D. H. Lawrence, examining the tensions, contradictions and artistic achievements of one of the twentieth century's most controversial literary figures. Vivas, an influential philosopher and literary critic, offers a close and serious assessment of Lawrence's novels, poetry and ideas, considering both the limitations and enduring power of his artistic vision.
