“In clear and engaging prose Ronald Granofsky offers the most sustained use of attachment theories to date to uncover relational patters throughout a broad range of Lawrence’s writings. Along the way, Granofsky provides fresh and illuminating readings of some of the most iconic scenes in Lawrence’s fiction as well as lesser-known passages from the writer’s oeuvre.” Barbara Schapiro, Rhode Island College
"Ron Granofsky is an astute psychologist and literary critic in one. D.H. Lawrence and Attachment is an incisive, persuasive examination of the tricky lifelong balancing acts between merger and separation in Lawrence's life and works and, by extension, our own." Judith Ruderman, author of Passing Fancies in Jewish American Literature and Culture
"Offering a perceptive reading of Lawrence’s poetry, essays, and fiction, Granofsky considers issues such as individuation, narcissism, masculinity, estrangement, and maternal bonds in chapters that focus on abandonment anxiety, gender identification, marriage, class, attachment to home, and otherness. An authoritative, well-grounded, and sensitive inquiry." Choice
