This second volume of the acclaimed Cambridge Biography of D. H. Lawrence covers the years 1912-22, the period in which Lawrence forged his reputation as one of the greatest and most controversial writers of the twentieth century. During this period Lawrence produced the trio of novels with which he was to revolutionise English fiction over the next decade. It was a painful process: Sons and Lovers was crudely cut by its publisher; The Rainbow was destroyed by court order and Women in Love took almost three years to find a publisher. Drawing on memoirs, oral recollections, and unpublished manuscript material, this volume opens a new perspective on the central period of Lawrence's life and literary career. It deals squarely with the vexed issue of his personal life but above all it reveals the triumph of Lawrence's art during a decade of extraordinary trials in which he established himself as the most innovative and notorious novelist of his generation.
