Poetic component in the novels of D.H. Lawrence
Authors

Abstract
The poetic component is a basic tool in
literature which is used by the writers to evoke the feeling of unconscious
desires and to stir subjective emotional states. Such device is used to explore
deeper human experience. Personification, Imagery, Symbolism, Metaphor, Rhythm
are some of the key components of such type of writings. The poetic atmosphere
in a novel is usually evoked by such poetic components. The poetic novel is the
term used not for a tale told in poetry or for a verse novel but for a prose narrative
conceived poetically, having some features of poetry. In broader sense it
possesses the very essence of poetry. In the 1950’s this new type of genre
gained more prominent attention with the publication of Leon Edle’s ‘The
Psychological Novel’ and Walter Allen’s monumental study, ‘The English Novel’.
Virginia Woolf, was in fact the true exponent of poetic novel as she has given
more convincing view than any other writers. Woolf asserts that, the novel
should be a mixture of prose and poetry. It should neither be a prose poem nor
a verse novel, but should be a combination of best prose and verse. In the
novels of D.H. Lawrence, we find the culmination of poet-novelists’ romantic
belief in projecting vision of life. Lawrence has enriched poetic fiction by
dint of his highly creative and suggestive art.
