Summary

An authoritative selection of letters by one of the great English letter-writers is here published for the first time in paperback. 'James T. Boulton, the chief editor of [the] definitive collection [of Lawrence's letters] has now condensed from it an admirable 500-pages worth of The Selected Letters of D. H. Lawrence. Section by section introductions, summary biographies of correspondents, and illuminating explanatory footnotes equip the reader to follow the contours of Lawrence's adult life as he progresses from teacher in Croydon to suspected German spy in Cornwall during the Great War, to wanderer in self-imposed exile in Australia, the US and Mexico, and finally consumptive, dying in Provence.' Jonathan Bate, Sunday Telegraph 'Five thousand letters cram the eight-volume Cambridge edition of Lawrence's correspondence. So this selection, representing the full range of Lawrence's influential acquaintance, is welcome. Angry, combative, scurrilous, the letters are also sometimes uniquely lyrical.' Independent on Sunday
