"This is the sort of book which makes one glad to be an academic, which is to say it is a pleasure to read and demonstrates the added value that original scholarship can bring to works of literature.

Introduction The Destructive Phase of Lady Chatterley's Lover The Sacralization Phase of Lady Chatterley's Lover Transformative Uses of Kabbalistic Concepts and Terms in The Rainbow Mechanistic and Yoga Discourses in Women in Love The Implosion of the Transformative Pattern in The Plumed Serpent Conclusion
Synopsis
This book demonstrates how D.H. Lawrence's prophetic ambitions impelled him to create novels that would radically transform the consciousness of his readers. Charles Burack argues that Lawrence's major novels, beginning with The Rainbow, are structured as religious initiation rites that attempt to break down the reader's normative mindset and to evoke new, numinous experiences of self and world. Through careful analysis of narrative structure, literary technique, and sacred discourses, Burack shows that Lawrence tries to initiate the reader into his own version of religious vitalism. Unlike most initiations that conclude with powerful affirmations, Lawrence's novels generally end with an attempt to subvert the formation of new religious dogmas and to encourage sacred-erotic exploration., This book demonstrates how D.H.
