Description
As novelist, story-teller, and poet Lawrence expressed his passionate convictions about man and society in many books. But he expressed them also on less formal literary occasions - in his voluminous correspondence, for example. And he contributed scores of articles to the periodicals and newspapers of his time, notably the vivid series he wrote in the London Evening News. From this considerable output of articles and essays Richard Aldington has chosen several of the most distinctive for this volume, and has added many of those brilliant studies of people and places which Lawrence wrote during his visits to Italy, Germany, and Mexico. Some of the pieces in this large selection reveal Lawrence's remarkable powers of personifying scenes and landscapes; others exhibit him as an incisive and unconventional critic of men and books. It was one of Lawrence's strongest merits that even though he might not command everyone's acceptance of his views he could always command attention to them.
