A compelling work of literary history and biographical investigation, D.H. Lawrence in Australia chronicles the famous English novelist's brief but formative visit to Australia in 1922 — a journey that directly inspired his novel Kangaroo. Robert Darroch presents a meticulous reassessment of this overlooked chapter in Lawrence's life, arguing that the trip had far deeper political and personal significance than previously acknowledged by scholars. Drawing on extensive archival research, Darroch uncovers new evidence suggesting Lawrence was closely observing Australia's nascent fascist movements, lending fresh context to the themes of Kangaroo. The work is authoritative and scholarly in tone, yet accessible enough to engage both dedicated Lawrence enthusiasts and those with a broader interest in Australian cultural history.
