Harmondsworth, England: Peregrine Books, 1970. Paperback. Slight wear to cover. Now that Lawrence's reputation has triumphantly survived every attack upon it, an objective and critical appraisal of his achievement comes as a relief. And certainly nobody was better qualified to undertake a major study than Dr. F. R. Leavis, who, in The Great tradition, has firmly placed Lawrence in the line of Jane Austen, George Eliot, Henry James, and Conrad, and who has consistently stressed the Lawrentian ideals of the ful life and the creative force of great literature. Indeed he regards Lawrence as 'still the great writer of our own phase of civilization'. 332 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.) .

From books and articles published since 1956, from essays written especially for this volume, and from unpublished letters and other documents, Harry T. Moore has selected thirty pieces which represent the best of recent work on Lawrence on both sides of the Atlantic, and in his helpful introductory essay he summarizes the contributions and reassesses Lawrence's achievements as a writer. general surveys of Lawrence's career stand beside interpretations of various novels and stories, and detailed studies of his verse accompany discussions of Lawrence as critic, philosopher, social thinker and prophet.

London England: Heinemann, 1971. Hardback. Ex-library with ex-library markings. Very slight foxing to edge. Price clipped to D/J. This study is not meant to be a search for 'sources' of the works of D. H. lawrence, so much as an attempt to define a mental climate, to connect, historically and in detail the works of a creative writer with ideas and conceptions detected in them yet never hitherto specifically related to his immediate surroundings. It aims rather at defining in the history of ideas not a main stream and filiation of philosophical thinking, but a pervading flow of mental representations at a given leel of social life, at a given moment of English literature, and in a writer who at that moment gives these representations their most striking expression. It is a study of background and atmosphere, rather than of summits. It is concerned not with the values of ideas, so much as with their existence at the time of observation, and with their use in the hidden infra-sctructure of works… Read More
