Dramatisations and readings of DH Lawrence’s four best-known novels, as heard on BBC Radio 4
Crowned ‘the greatest imaginative novelist of our generation’ by EM Forster, DH Lawrence has an undisputed place in England’s canon of great authors. This collection brings together dramatisations and readings of his four most famous novels, exploring themes such as sexual desire, the complexity of human relationships, individual freedom and social change.
Sons and Lovers
Conflicts grow for Nottinghamshire mining family Gertrude and Walter Morel and their sons in this powerful full-cast dramatisation starring Benedict Sandiford and Elizabeth Estensen.
The Rainbow
This abridged version of Lawrence’s classic explores the lives and loves of three generations of the Brangwen family at Marsh Farm. Read by David Bradley.
Women in Love
In this dramatisation of Lawrence’s passionate novel – the sequel to The Rainbow – sisters Ursula and Gudrun attract the attention of two very different gentlemen – with very different responses to love. Starring Clare Holman, Stella Gonet, Douglas Hodge and Nicholas Farrell.
Lady Chatterley’s Lover
An emotionally frustrated aristocrat embarks on an adulterous affair with her gamekeeper in this abridged reading by Ian Hogg.
Adrian J Walker had done it again, crafting a book which is possibly even more of an irresistible page-turner than his previous effort...a thrilling, propulsive read which quickly sheds its edgy, unnerving slowburn opener to develop into a balls-to-the-wall action adventure. Genuinely unputdownable, this is a book that sinks its claws into your imagination and your sense of adventure and won’t let go until the final page. Massively enjoyable.
