In the Life of D.H. Lawrence, Keith Sagar makes use of the 5,000 extant Lawrence letters by weaving them together in an immediate, dramatic, and highly readable narrative. Much new information about Lawrence's relationships with his mother and father, his girlfriends and his later friends such as Dorothy Brett and Harry Crosby, plus a new account of the origins of Lady Chatterley's Lover, is included in this volume. A lavish collection of photographs of Lawrence, his friends and family, as well as facsimiles of illustrated letters and color reproductions of Lawrence's own art, completes Sagar's vivid portrait of his subject and allows the reader a close and personal view.
