This selection of D.H. Lawrence's letters offers a direct encounter with the novelist beyond the pages of his fiction. Writing to friends and fellow writers, he moves between everyday arrangements, personal relationships and strongly expressed ideas about literature and the world around him. The correspondence conveys an active, questioning mind, with shifts of mood and opinion that give the letters an immediacy different from a conventional biography. Practical concerns and artistic ambitions appear side by side, showing how creative work continued amid the demands of ordinary living. This early Penguin selection brings together personal writing that helps illuminate Lawrence's voice, making it of interest both to readers of his novels and to those drawn to literary lives.
