This fascinating volume contains a collection of travel writings by D. H. Lawrence, first published after his death in 1932. In this text Lawrence compares the vibrant world of the Etruscan civilisation with the dilapidation of Benito Mussolinis Italy during the late 1920s. The Etruscan civilisation is the relatively modern moniker given to the civilisation originating from ancient Italy in the areas of modern Tuscany, western Umbria, and northern Lazio. Not much is known of the Etruscans, and in this fascinating exploration of their culture Lawrence pieces together what he can in order to...

David Herbert Richards Lawrence (11 September 1885 - 2 March 1930) was an English novelist, poet, playwright, essayist, literary critic and painter who published as D. H. Lawrence. His collected works, among other things, represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanising effects of modernity and industrialisation. In them, some of the issues Lawrence explores are emotional health, vitality, spontaneity and instinct. Lawrence's opinions earned him many enemies and he endured official persecution, censorship, and misrepresentation of his creative work throughout the second half of his...

Lawrence ... describes the poems in this first collection of his unrhymed poems] as "intended as an essential story, or history, or confession," the critical experience occurring in the period of, "roughly, the sixth lustre of a man's life"-that is, from the age of 25 to 30. His Argument emphasizes the dramatic nature of the sequence. He speaks of "the protagonist" and of "the conflict of love and hate that] goes on between the man and the woman, and between these two and the world around them, till it reaches some sort of conclusion, they transcend into some condition of blessedness."...

Birds, Beasts and Flowers (1923) was the volume that Lawrence himself described as his best collection of poetry. Composed in various locations during his exile-in Italy, France, Germany and the United States-this long collection occupies a crucial place in the development of his poetry and is that most unusual of creations: a masterpiece of modernist nature writing. This version offers the full text of the first British edition (which included the poems from the short 'Tortoises' volume, unlike the US edition).

Sisters Ursula and Gudrun Brangwen are sisters. Rupert and Gerald are the men with whom they pursue two very different romantic relationships. "Women in Love" is Lawrence's 1920 sequel to "The Rainbow," and the novel follows the Brangwen sisters as they navigate difficult times and difficult loves.

The Brangwen family has lived in Nottinghamshire for generations. "The Rainbow" tells the story of the three generations of Brangwens who live at Marsh Farm from 1840 to the early 1900's. In this book, D. H. Lawrence explored the impact of sexuality upon human relationships with such frankness that, shortly after its publication in 1915, it was brought to trial for obscenity.
