The Camb Ed Of The Works Of D H Lawrence Movementsin European History

Originally published in 1921 by OxfORD Lawrence's textbook presents a vivid sketch of European history from ancient Rome to the early twentieth century. This book remains significant in the canon of Lawrence's work as the only school textbook he ever wrote. In it he explores and clarifies his thinking on political morality and social institutions. Dr. Crumpton's introduction describes the genesis, publication and reception of the book, giving an account of the little-known Irish edition of 1926 which suffered much censorship, and identifies and analyzes Lawrence's methods of using the source-books on which his writing was based. This edition uses the surviving manuscript to present a text as close to that which Lawrence wrote and corrected in proof as is now possible; the textual apparatus gives variant readings and an appendix lists the source materials. Lawrence's Epilogue, written in 1924 but not published until 1972, is included.
