Review of the hardback: 'This is indispensableIt is, quite simply, the best book on Lawrence I have ever read, a really magnificent piece of work. Its theme is the interplay between Lawrence's ideas and his fictions … nowhere has that dialectic been described more plausibly and more sensitively than in this marvellous book.' Ray Monk, Observer

Review of the hardback: 'This volume meets every requirement of an ideal biography. There is an immensely helpful chronology plus appendices … there are the maps and photographs, the 200-plus pages of notes make a supplementary book of their own; the index is simply magnificent; and the text itself bundles its vast amount of material with meticulous patience, while the writing is marked by fairness and tolerance throughout.' Tony Tanner, The Times Literary Supplement
