Synopsis

Sketches of Etruscan Places contains seven essays D. H. Lawrence wrote in 1927 after visiting several Etruscan cities in central Italy. Six were published posthumously in 1932 as Etruscan Places; 'The Florence Museum' is published for the first time here. Some appeared in magazines in Lawrence's lifetime, but he expressed a wish that they be published in a volume with the photographs he had collected; in fact, only twenty of the forty-five illustrations here reproduced with Lawrence's own captions were included in 1932. Eight essays about Florence and the Tuscan countryside form the second part of this volume. The texts have been established by checking manuscripts, typescripts, proofs and periodical and book publications. The introduction gives the genesis, publication, textual history and reception of the essays.

About the Author:

David Herbert Lawrence (1885-1930) was born in Nottinghamshire and attended the University College there. His first major novel 'Sons and Lovers' (1913) was followed by 'The Rainbow' (1915). His last novel 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' caused a great furore, even more so for Penguin when we first published the novel in the 1960s.

Simonetta de Filippis is Professor of English at Naples University
