This unique edition of D.H. Lawrence's Selected Letters includes correspondence spanning his whole adult life from early letters as a sixteen-year-old through to his final years in France. The language remains effusive and dynamic throughout as he corresponds with friends, lovers, fellow authors, editors, postmen and nuns‚ discussing art, literature, love, life and the weather.

The scrupulous and innovative work by James Boulton provides a rare critical assessment of Lawrence's epistolary achievement, comprehensive biographical and bibliographical details, brief chronological and descriptive introductions to each section and a full general index.

By the same author:


The son of a coal miner, D. H. Lawrence was brought up in relative poverty, his working-class background providing inspiration for many of his early novels. Lawrence spent most of his adult life abroad in order to escape the conventions and hypocrisies of his own country, and advocated a return to a more harmonious relationship with nature in the face of modernity and industrialization. Controversial both during and after his lifetime, Lawrence's novels represent a milestone in twentieth-century literature.
