D. H. Lawrence in Italy and England [Hardcover]

The critical essays in this volume, by leading authorities on D. H. Lawrence, focus on the importance of Italy and England in Lawrence's work and life. They span the years of his creative maturity from 1915 - which witnessed the important visit to Cambridge, the revisions to Twilight in Italy and the banning of The Rainbow - to 1926, the year in which he began research for the pieces that became Etruscan Places .Editors' Preface Note on the Text and Acknowledgements List of Contributors Lawrence and Cambridge; J.
