H. Lawrence and Frieda von Richthofen\u003c\/i\u003e provides a candid look at two illustrious people who tested the capacity—and the limits—of marriage. The Lawrences come alive not as simple quarreling travelers, nor as blissful domestic partners, but as complex personalities who experimented with marriage to see if it would fulfill their needs. Their antagonisms and their sexual experiences informed Lawrence's fearless novels \u003ci\u003eThe Rainbow\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWomen in Love\u003c\/i\u003e. Both works also tested the boundaries of public taste and faced harsh receptions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe cost of the Lawrences' strong but unstable marriage was high. Despite periods of happiness and peace, angry clashes meant separations and uneasy agreements to repair the marital intimacy when it cracked. Fractures of 1916, 1919, 1923, and 1926 healed slowly and with difficulty. In Lawrence's most calculated and famous work, \u003ci\u003eLady Chatterley's Lover\u003c\/i\u003e, he successfully coded their marital stress and, full of rage, fused two stories of failed marriages.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDrawing on many unpublished and recently discovered letters, \u003ci\u003eThe Limits of Love\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers a detailed reconstruction of two complicated lives, written with narrative speed and a forceful style, filled with vivid interpretations of Lawrence's work, and conveying deep sympathy for people living outside established norms. This new dual biography, based on years of research by Michael Squires, captures the essence of Lawrence and Frieda, making the couple real, alive, and accessible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41064595816545,"sku":"9780807180464","price":26.83,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37799314_cc9b404a-a0ee-4acb-a4a2-ad130eb5c751.jpg?v=1763023693","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780807180464-limits-of-love","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
