Description and Table of Contents
Description
The range and depth of Lawrence's sensibility is demonstrated in this selection of essays, many of which distil the ideas and experience found in his novels. He introduces his paintings, ponders on the nature of democracy, discusses "The Forsyte Saga" and portrays the people and places he saw on his travels in Italy, Germany and Mexico. The volume also includes a prophetic letter, written in 1924, in which Lawrence anticipates the rise of Nazism.
