Amid this criticism, Lawrence was inspired to write \u003ci\u003eFantasia of the Unconscious, \u003c\/i\u003e explaining the themes and topics that often find their way into his work while defending himself against the raging criticism of \u003ci\u003eSons and Lovers.\u003c\/i\u003e Though Lawrence admits his bias, as well as acknowledging that he is not a scientist nor a scholar, he supports his psychoanalytic claims and raises concerns that had previously been unvoiced. First, Lawrence debunks popular Freudian psychology and Oedipus theories, mainly to defend his novel, \u003ci\u003eSons and Lovers, \u003c\/i\u003e which was semi-autobiographical, from the claims that the mother and son depicted in the novel had a sexual relationship. Lawrence continues to analyze social practices and expectations of marriage, raising children, education, and political action. He challenged the very idea of self, which is a cornerstone of Western culture. Furthermore, Lawrence articulates the mental struggles that exists between emotional and intellectual identities, discussing the polarity of each and the cases in which they intersect, causing a turmoil of contradiction. Though he is not trained in the science, D.H Lawrence spent a lifetime writing about human observations that others found too grotesque or taboo to acknowledge, allowing Lawrence to have a certain expertise on such issues. With psychoanalytic theory, Lawrence supports his views, theories, and philosophies that often invited controversy in the literary and social realm. With poem-like prose and abstract ideas, D.H Lawrence proposes theories that surprises and compels readers. Described as being ahead of its time, \u003ci\u003eFantasia of the Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e introduces ideas that can be examined in practice in modern society. With insight on topics of education, marriage, and social norms, \u003ci\u003eFantasia of the Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e is an illuminating guide to D.H Lawrence's other works. This edition of \u003ci\u003eFantasia of the Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e is now presented in an easy-to-read font and features a new, eye-catching cover design to cater to contemporary readers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eControversial author D.H Lawrence places topics of education, marriage, politics, and raising children under a psychoanalytic lens in \u003ci\u003eFantasia of the Unconscious\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e.
