This book offers a concise yet comprehensive look at D.H. Lawrence’s turbulent life and writing career. Tracing his journey from a mining village outside Nottingham to his death at 44 years old in the South of France, it provides fresh perspectives on his major works. David Ellis covers all essential aspects of Lawrence’s life and work and presents a balanced view, steering skilfully between admirers and critics. Written in an accessible style, this book is ideal for both students new to Lawrence and readers looking to revisit one of Britain’s greatest early 20th-century writers.
