The Author: Earl G. Ingersoll is Professor of English and Honors Director at the State University of New York College at Brockport, where he has taught since 1964. In addition to numerous articles in professional journals, he is a co-editor of The Post-Confessionals: Conversations with American Poets of the Eighties and the editor of Margaret Atwood: Conversations and Conversations with May Sarton.
This important book explores representative works of literature as expressions of British culture's responses to science and technology. Although its center is the major novels of D.H. Lawrence, this study begins with the writings of Lawrence's forerunners and contemporaries - Hardy, Conrad, Shaw, Forster, Woolf - and examines the work of his literary heirs - Huxley, Orwell, Burgess, Golding - as well as other interpreters of Lawrence's legacy - Sillitoe, Shaffer, Lodge. In addition to the expected hostility, especially toward technology, these carefully selected works frequently reveal ambivalent and occasionally even positive responses to the "other" culture of science and technology in the past 100 years.
