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.
