Description
Originally meant to be a short critical work on Thomas Hardy's characters, D. H. Lawrence's "Study of Thomas Hardy" developed into a statement of his philosophy of art. First published posthumously from a corrupted typescript -- as Lawrence destroyed the original manuscript -- it is reproduced here from a more accurate typescript. Essays spanning the whole of Lawrence's writing career are also collected here, with an introduction contextualizing them within Lawrence's life and work.
ABOUT THE SERIES
"The Cambridge edition... has restored -- perhaps created -- texts which are authoritative enough to stand for another fifty years." (Literary Review)
D. H. Lawrence is one of the great writers of the twentieth century -- yet the texts of his writings, whether published during his lifetime or since, are textually corrupt. He was forced to accept the often-stringent house-styling of his printers, not to mention intrusive editing due to his publishers' timidity.
A team of scholars at Cambridge University Press has worked for more than thirty years to restore the definitive texts of D. H. Lawrence. The Cambridge Edition provides texts of all of his works, which are as close as can now be determined to those he would have wished to see printed.
The texts are established through rigorous collation of all extant materials, from draft manuscripts to first book publication, identifying errors made by copyists, typists and printers; house-styling by printers; and censorship and bowdlerization by publishers.
The Cambridge Editions were published between 1979 and 2011. This is the first time they have been available in eBook form.
