"Women in Love" and Expressionism (II)

Višnja Sepčić

Abstract

Lawrence's greatest novel, which is the result of an autonomous
development and logically proceeds from his earlíer experiments
in fiction, shows a remarkable degree of congruence with the
aesthetics of Expressionism. Its basic poetics ireely mixes the
i mimetic principle, richly diversified through the two centuries
of novelistic tradition, and the non-mimetic and anti-mimetic
devices of Modernist art, which relies predominantly upon the
sovereign power of the creative imagination and freely encroaches
upon the domain of imaginative stylization (abstraction), the creative distortion of the real, in order to express the inner truth.
