Few writers have been so conspicuously torn as D.H. Lawrence in his search for emancipation from his mother and in the forging of his sexual identity. In this biography, Philip Callow examines the influences that shaped Lawrence: his mother, whose hold over him was enormous; his first love, Jessie Chambers; and the German, Frieda Weekley, the wife of his old professor with whom Lawrence had a notoriously stormy marriage. This excellent and insightful biography is a must for all lovers and students of D.H. Lawrence's work.
