Studies in Classic American Literature

D. H. Lawrence

The staid academic title belies the freewheeling prose of D.H. Lawrence's essays, which are as contrarian, penetrating, and sometimes unpalatable as one might expect from the author. "America has never been easy, and is not easy to-day. Americans have always been at a certain tension." - Summary by Kazbek (7 hr 5 min)
