This second volume of the acclaimed Cambridge biography of D. H.
Lawrence covers the years 1912-22, the period in which he forged
his reputation as one of the greatest and most controversial
writers of the twentieth century. The story opens as the
twenty-six-year-old Lawrence travels to Germany with Frieda
Weekley, the wife of a university professor and mother of three
small children. In his baggage on that prosaic cross-channel ferry
was a draft of Sons and Lovers, the first of a group of novels with
which Lawrence was to revolutionize English fiction over the next
decade. This meticulously researched volume opens a new perspective
on the central period of Lawrence's life and literary career.
Drawing on memoirs, oral recollections, and unpublished manuscript
material, it deals squarely with the vexing issue of Lawrence and
Frieda's personal relations--issues that have more often been
gossiped about than scrupulously examined. Above all it reveals the
triumph of Lawrence's art during a decade of extraordinary trials
in which, against all reasonable odds, the coal-miner's son
established himself as the most innovative and notorious novelist
of his generation.
