RÉSUMÉ

Love and Death in Lawrence and Foucault is the first full-lengthstudy of Foucault and the Foucaultians not to look at them from aquasi-hagiographical perspective. The Lawrentian point of view employedhere to deal with Foucault and his oeuvre is utterly unique,imaginative, and efficacious in explicating/demystifying Foucaultiantheory, while at the same time promoting Barry J. Scherr's courageous,indefatigable project of «restoring» D. H. Lawrence to his rightfullyand supremely high place in the pantheon of great British literature.Rebellious and unconventional yet scholarly and mature, Love and Death in Lawrence and Foucaultis the bravest and most unorthodox study of Foucault to date. It is aworthy 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.
