About
"Love and Death in Lawrence and Foucault" is the first full-length study of Foucault and the Foucaultians not to look at them from a quasi-hagiographical perspective. The Lawrentian point of view employed here to deal with Foucault and his oeuvre is utterly unique, imaginative, and efficacious in explicating/demystifying Foucaultian theory, while at the same time promoting Barry J. Scherr's courageous, indefatigable project of -restoring- D. H. Lawrence to his rightfully and supremely high place in the pantheon of great British literature. Rebellious and unconventional yet scholarly and mature, "Love and Death in Lawrence and Foucault" is the bravest and most unorthodox study of Foucault to date. It is a worthy addition to Scherr's previous literary-cultural studies, "D. H. Lawrence Today" and "D. H. Lawrence's Response to Plato." A supremely lively, incisive, lucid, and profound critique, "Love and Death in Lawrence and Foucault" is indispensable to students and scholars of Lawrence and Foucault alike."
