`a book distinguished by careful and detailed discrimination ... A book which sets up an intelligent and sympathetic dialogue between Lawrence and currently predominating critical theories and concerns is a rarity.'Times Literary Supplement '... carefully attentive to words and images,'English 'an eloquent and erudite attempt to define Lawrence's organicist aesthetics in terms that allow it ultimately to fall on the positive side of the political fence ... The high point of the volume ... is a staggering exposition, in three chapters, of Lawrence's deep-seated, unconscious, and universally denied alliance with the Bloomsbury aesthetics of Clive Bell and Roger Fry. It is this which will mark the book as a defiitive step forward in Lawrence studies, andmake it required reading for all concerned with his work.'Macdonald Daly, University of Nottingham, Modern Language Review, 25, 1995 ...carefully attentive to words and images. * English vol. 43/176 * This formidably knowledgeable and learned book marks a radical new direction in Lawrence studies...probably the most significant book written about Lawrence this decade.
