New from Cambridge
D. H.
Lawrence
Volume 3: Dying Game
1922-1930
David Ellis
The final volume of the
Cambridge biography of
D. H. Lawrence chronicles
his progress upon leaving
Europe in 1922 to his death
in Vence in 1930. Based
on much new or unfamiliar
material, it describes his travels in Ceylon, Australia, the United
States, and Mexico in an increasingly desperate search for an
ideal community. Upon his rerurn to Europe in 1925, there
is a detailed accounr of his rediscovery of painting, his batrle
against censorship, and the vitality with which he resisted rhe
debilitating effects of tuberculosis.
Krmgflroo, ihe Plumed Sapem,
and
Lady Chatterley's Lover
are usually seen as rhe literary land–
marks of these years, but Lawrence also wrote remarkable
novellas, essays, criticism, short stories and poems. Lawrence
is revealed here not as the impotenr and self-obsessed figure of
popular legend, but as a man more complex, more humorous,
and more exemplary in his resolute grappling with the cenrral
problems of Ii fe and death.
