Not I, But The Wind: D H. Lawrence As Seen By Mrs. D. H. Lawrence - Paperback

by Frieda Von Richthofen Lawrence (Author)

Long out of print, and brought back to fill the new demand for it, Frieda Law-rence's own story places in perspective the works of the man now regarded as the greatest English novelist of the twentieth century. When Lawrence's reputation was at its lowest, in the 1930s, various memoirs by those who had known him flourished, to the detriment of his own work, for potential readers saw him in the light of a fallen prophet. In the midst of such volumes, his widow's book was valuable for its clear picture of the man who wrote so much remarkable prose and poetry. Taking her title from a line of his po-etry, Frieda Lawrence wrote ""Not I," " But the Wind.".."one of the most vivid portraits of an artist by the one who knew him best. Now that Lawrence's works are receiving increasing attention and renewed critical acclaim, this book will in itself put the man in perspective for those who want to know more about him. In his new Afterword written for this edition Harry T. Moore, the noted Law-rence scholar, has provided a valuable ac-count of Frieda and D. H. Lawrence to-gether, rounding out the story of these two unique lives.
