John Worthen taught at universities in America and Wales before becoming Professor of D. H. Lawrence Studies at the University of Nottingham, where he remains Emeritus Professor. His career as a Lawrence's biographer began in the 1980s and culminated in the celebrated D H Lawrence: The Early Years 1885-1912, the first part of the three-volume Cambridge biography (CUP, 1991-8).
"A fine, cogent and carefully reasoned book, and surely a major
contribution to contemporary Lawrence scholarship."
"A intimate and compelling portrait...brings to light the many
fascinating aspects of Lawrence's life."
"A stylishly written, smoothly developed analysis of Lawrence's
conflicted psyche."
"Lawrence blazes like a figure of myth from the documentary record
of his existence. We are with Lawrence every step of the way as he
rants and tramps around the world, quarrelling, moaning, scrimping
and saving, writing and writing."
"Worthen's single-volume life has the merit of pursuing a theme
detectable in every phase of Lawrence's life: his perpetually
renewed isolation."
