add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "The Letters of T.E. Lawrence," edited by David Garnett. The more one reads in David Herbert Lawrence's letters, the more one finds that he is not in the expected tradition of Button, "Chinese" Gordon, Blunt, or Doughty, that he is less the flashy empire builder and mote the prophet poet in the line of George Gordon Byron or William Blake. Nor is this so strange a combination or inheritance as it might seem at first. His shifty attitude toward the art of writing parallels Byron's captious snobbery of the amateur toward verse which he wrote in his personal style consummately well, and from impulses similar to those of Lawrence.
