D. H. Lawrence began to read Schopenhauer and Nietzsche while a student at Nottingham University College. The influence of the two philosophers on his early short stories and his novels from The White Peacock (1911) through to The Rainbow (1915) has been considered at length in books and essays on Lawrence. There has been little discussion to date, though, of the presence of Schopenhauer and Nietzsche in Women in Love (1920). The unmistakably Nietzschean term Wille zur Macht (will to power) appears in the novel and has attracted some critical comment, but there is no equally obvious reference to Schopenhauer, and discussion of Schopenhauer’s influence has been accordingly slight. Lawrence believed, however, that every novel should have a ‘background metaphysic’, and careful examination of Women in Love reveals that its metaphysic, or ‘theory of being’, derives from a combination of Schopenhauer’s and Nietzsche’s philosophical theories.

DH劳伦斯在诺丁汉大学学院读书时就开始阅读叔本华和尼采。两位哲学家对他早期的短篇小说和从《白孔雀》（1911 年）到《彩虹》（1915 年）的长篇小说的影响已在关于劳伦斯的书籍和散文中得到详细考虑。然而，迄今为止，关于叔本华和尼采在《恋爱中的女人》（1920）中出现的讨论很少。明显无误的尼采术语 Wille zur Macht（权力意志）出现在小说中并引起了一些批评性评论，但没有同样明显地提到叔本华，因此对叔本华影响的讨论很少。然而，劳伦斯认为，每部小说都应该有一个“背景形而上学”，对《恋爱中的女人》的仔细研究表明，它的形而上学，
