The Trespasser is the second novel written by D. H. Lawrence, published in 1912. Originally it was entitled the Saga of Siegmund and drew upon the experiences of a friend of Lawrence, Helen Corke, and her adulterous relationship with a married man that ended with his suicide. Lawrence worked from Corke's diary, with her permission, but also urged her to publish; which she did in 1933 as Neutral Ground.

Having read almost all of Lawrence's novels I was drawn to this one because of the Wagner connection. Although there are many references to Wagner's operas here there is nothing that links this novel to Wagner thematically other then the unhappy lovers. Siegmund is a married violinist engaged in a love affair with his student Helena. While Lawrence's descriptive powers are impressive, much of the novel involves walks along the beaches of the Isle of Wight without much of interest happening. The novel has a predictably sad ending which the reader is made aware of right at the beginning. Okay for a real Lawrence fan. For others start with the best 'Women in Love'.Product details

The Trespasser David Herbert Lawrence Edibooks Books Reviews
THIS SHORT, SIMPLE TALE IS TYPICAL OF LAWRENCE. A MARRIED MAN--A MUSICIAN-- UNHAPPY IN HIS MARRIAGE, HAS AN AFFAIR WITH HIS STUDENT. THEN HE CANNOT FACE HIS FAMILY AND COMMITS SUICIDE. AFTER HIS SUICIDE, LIFE GOES ON. HIS FAMILY SUCCEED WITHOUT HIM, AND HIS YOUNG MISTRESS FINDS ANOTHER MAN TO LOVE HER.
ITS IS SIMPLE AND PREDICTABLE. THE BULK OF THE PIECE DESCRIBES THE DAYS IN WHICH THE LOVERS SPEND SOME DAYS TOGETHER, ALONE, AT THE SEASHORE, ENJOYING LOVE AND NATURE. IT IS BEAUTIFULLY WRITTEN, BUT I FOUND IT TIRESOME AFTER A WHILE. LAWRENCE WRITES NOVELS OF PURE POETRY, BUT THE TALE DID NOT KEEP ME INTERESTED. IF I WANT POETRY, I'LL READ IT!
The Trespasser is the tragic tale of Siemund, a music teacher with an unhappy family life, and his student, who becomes his lover. It isn't a worthless book, but your time would definately be better spent reading one of the famous Lawrence books - this is clearly the creation of a young, impressionable mind. For instance, Lawrence makes constant reference to Wagner's 'Ring' in the book, rubbing the reader's nose profusely in heavyhanded hints that Siemund is borrowed from the German composer's work.
Neither this nor other books by Lawrence in this edition have real page numbers, as says they do, not on my K3!
Had some beautiful prose, but was excessive at points. The story had a predictable ending, which was obvious from the beginning. Descriptions of the sea were beautiful. Book was OK. Not his best work, I didn't think.
Very good.
Oh the irony! asking me to review DH Lawrence's second novel. Let some other reviewer grandly take the floor and pontificate pro and con about this, that and the other thing in a DH Lawrence novel. I can barely hold my awe long enough to say that the man was a genius, a prophet and a hero who lived in this world strictly on his own terms.
