'Peter Preston has written and made thoroughly accessible to its readers a book which no-one working on Lawrence can now afford to have far from their work-table. How ever did we live without it? It has become, at a stroke, indispensable.' - John Worthen, D H Lawrence Society's Newsletter 'It creates a most absorbing chronological sequence out of materials brought together from an extremely wide variety of sources, in a very effective and professional way.' - Nicola Ceramella This volume traces the progress of Lawrence's life from its beginnings in the English Midlands through his world-wide travelling until his death in 1930. Details of the composition of his works in many forms and of the controversies that often followed their publication are included. Drawing on information from recent scholarly editions of his letters and works, it also offers details of his wide reading, and his relationships with figures as varied as E.M. Forster, Bertrand Russell, Katherine Mansfield, Lady Ottoline Morell and Aldous Huxley.
This final volume chronicles Lawrence's progress from leaving Europe in 1922 to his death in Venice in 1930. Ellis reveals Lawrence as a complex, humorous man, exemplary in his resolute grappling with the central problems of life and death.
You could describe D.H. Lawrence as the great multi-instrumentalist among the great writers of the twentieth century. He was a brilliant, endlessly controversial novelist who transformed, for better and for worse, the way we write about sex and emotions; he was a wonderful poet; he was an essayist of burning curiosity, expansive lyricism, odd humor, and radical intelligence, equaled, perhaps, only by Virginia Woolf. Here Geoff Dyer, one of the finest essayists of our day, draws on the whole range of Lawrence’s published essays to reintroduce him to a new generation of readers for whom the essay has become an important genre. We get Lawrence the book reviewer, writing about Death in Venice and welcoming Ernest Hemingway; Lawrence the travel writer, in Mexico and New Mexico and Italy; Lawrence the memoirist, depicting his strange sometime-friend Maurice Magnus; Lawrence the restless inquirer into the possibilities of the novel, writing about the novel and morality and addressing the question of why the novel matters; and, finally, the Lawrence who meditates on birdsong or the death of a porcupine in the Rocky Mountains. Dyer’s selection of Lawrence’s essays is a wonderful introduction to a fundamental, dazzling writer.
Drawing on nearly 2,000 previously unpublished letters, Brenda Maddox presents a rich and startlingly new portrait of D. H. Lawrence: a hilarious mimic, a lover of nature, an inspired teacher, a brilliant journalist, an ecological visionary, and, above all - a married man.
This impressive volume is made up of eleven essays by a distinguished group of contributors, including both Lawrence specialists and well-known critics who work primarily in other areas. Nine of the essays were commissioned especially for this volume, and the other two were revised by their authors for book publication. Each engages in a fresh and provocative way an important aspect of Lawrence's writings. The book's organization follows the chronology of Lawrence's career, and the essays cover the full range of his creative achievement, from analyses of major novels and short fiction to reassessments of his poetry and visionary thought. No single ideology or methodology dominates the volume: the contributions include traditional humanistic studies and formalist readings as well as feminist approaches and analyses that reflect current poststructuralist theory. Some of the essays implicitly challenge the validity of others, and some may well cause controversy. Taken together, they illuminate the richness of Lawrence's writings and the multifaceted nature of his accomplishments. D. H. Lawrence; A Centenary Consideration will be rewarding reading both for Lawrencian specialists and for others interested in modem literature.

It was the sitting-room of a mean house standing in line with hundreds of others of the same kind along a wide road in South London. Now and again the trams hummed by but the room was foreign to the trams and to the sound of the London traffic.
