Son and Lover by Philip Callow
A skillful biography focusing on D. H. Lawrences developing consciousness during his childhood and youth in the English Midlands, his university days, his elopement with Frieda, and his departure from England in 1919. A surprising tale of metamorphosis which Mr. Callow recreates better than any previous Lawrence biographer. Julian Moynihan.
Philip Callow's acheivement is to let us see Lawrence's impulses and passions from the inside, without censure or praise-- Margaret Drabble
