The Selected Letters of D. H. Lawrence Hardcover - 1997
by D. H. Lawrence; James T. Boulton (Editor)
D.H. Lawrence reveled in communication and poured a great portion of his creativity into letter writing, his correspondents covering a wide range of acquaintances from aristocrats to servant girls. The humanness of the writer comes full forward in this collection of 300 carefully chosen letters. Includes a biographical list of correspondents, brief chronological and descriptive introductions and a full index. 32 photos.
From the rear cover
Lawrence's renowned creativity is conspicuous in his letters. Here in over 330 of them - many first published in the acclaimed seven-volume Cambridge Edition - are exemplified the remarkable variety and inventiveness he could command. He corresponded with the elite - aristocrats, fellow authors, painters, publishers and others from the intelligentsia; but not with these only. With equal concern he wrote to his sisters, a childhood friend suffering from tuberculosis, a Post Office clerk or an Italian servant-girl. Lawrence revelled in the act of communication, using a direct, unvarnished but invariably vivid style appropriate to each correspondent. His letters are notable for expressive and imaginative energy, wit and comedy, the tender and the tempestuous, combined with an extraordinary sensitivity to the natural world as well as to the human condition - and much besides. Few English letter-writers offer a comparable range of interest. In his introductory essay James Boulton provides a rare critical assessment of Lawrence's epistolary achievement. In addition to the annotated texts of the letters, also included are a biographical list of Lawrence's correspondents; brief chronological and descriptive introductions to each section; and a full general index.
