D. H. Lawrence and Narrative Viewpoint

This book is a stylistic study of D. H. Lawrence''s presentation of narrative viewpoint. The focus is mainly on Lawrence''s third novel, Sons and Lovers, occupying a crucial position in his oeuvre and judged by critics to be his first mature piece. While sharing many features typical of nineteenth-century novels, it marks the emergence of a new technique of writing consciousness that functioned as a precursor to the modernist practice of dialogic shifts across viewpoints. Through a detailed linguistic analysis, Sotirova shows that different characters'' viewpoints are not simply juxtaposed.
