The modern novel has been many things, and functioned at many levels. It would keep D.H. Lawrence poor, and make Jilly Cooper and Jeffrey Archer rich.

-Bradbury, Malcolm Stanley
  The Modern British Novel, preface.

He said that, by god,D. H. Lawrence was right when he had said there must be a dumb, dark, dull, bitter belly- tension between a man and a woman, and how else could this be achieved save in the long monotony of marriage?

I am most grateful to the CLF [Commonwealth Literary Fund] for providing the funds to give these lectures in Australian literature, but unfortunately they have neglected to provide any literature. I will lecture therefore on D H Lawrence's 'Kangaroo'.
