Summary This book demonstrates how D.H. Lawrence's prophetic ambitions impelled him to create novels that would radically transform the consciousness of his readers. Charles Burack argues that Lawrence's major novels, beginning with The Rainbow, are structured as religious initiation rites that attempt to break down the reader's normative mindset and to evoke new, numinous experiences of self and world
