Double Measure
A STIJDY OF THE NOVELS AND STORIES OF D. H. LAWRENCE
By GEORGE H. FORD,
University of Rochester. "Professor Ford's con..
tribution is keen-eyed, coherent, and thoughtful.••• Ford's basic
line-that
there exists in Lawrence's work a double rhythm, a juxtaposition of tho crea–
tive force with the destructive - is certainly useful for critical delineation.
And, as he develops it through his study of tbe more important stories
and
Lawrence's two masterpieces,
The Rainbow
and
Women in LoVe,
his argu..
ment brilliantly illuminates three crucial areas: characterlZlltioD, mood, and
theme."-Virginia Kirklfs' Service.
"An important book on
La1llrence."

By
HENRY
DAN PIPER,

by
a
re–
nowned Fitzgerald authority, "this exhaustive chronological exploration of
tbe novels and stories concentrates on Fitzgerald, the artist, rather than on

chapters devoted to
Ga/shy,
an interesting juxtaposition of
Tender Is the
Night
with Zelda's
Save Me the Waltz,
and a penetrating approach to
The
Last
Tycoon.
For Fitzgerald fans, a must book." -
