LAWRENCE, D.H

Additional reading A critical edition of Lawrence's works is being published by Cambridge University Press (1980 ); these texts use manuscripts and typescripts to restore censored or deleted passages, notably in Sons and Lovers (1992), and add hitherto unpublished material and much draft material. A standard biography of Lawrence is John Worthen, D.H. Lawrence (1991 ). Edward Nehls (ed. and compiler), D.H. Lawrence: A Composite Biography, 3 vol. (195759), assembles the testimony of contemporaries. E.T. (Jessie Chambers), D.H. Lawrence: A Personal Record (1935, reprinted 1980), is also worth consulting. Two biographical studies by John Middleton Murry, Son of Woman (1931, reissued 1980), and Reminiscences of D.H. Lawrence (1933, reprinted 1971), provoked a third: Catherine Carswell, The Savage Pilgrimage (1932, reprinted 1981). Paul Delany, D.H. Lawrence's Nightmare (1978), deals with the years 191418. F.R. Leavis, D.H. Lawrence, Novelist (1955, reissued 1979), is the starting-point for modern criticism; the literature is enormous. Convenient one-volume introductions are Graham Hough, The Dark Sun (1956, reissued 1973); H.M. Daleski, The Forked Flame (1965, reissued 1987); Keith Sagar, The Art of D.H. Lawrence (1966, reissued 1981); and Frank Kermode, D.H. Lawrence (also published as Lawrence, 1973).
