In 1540 he was among the founders of the Accademia degli Umidi, which was soon renamed Accademia Fiorentina. He later took a leading role in the establishment of the more famous Accademia della Crusca, which published his Vocabulario of words accepted as the purest Italian. To both societies he was known as Il Lasca or Leuciscus, a pseudonym which is still frequently substituted for his name. Grazzini was temperamental, his life consequently enlivened or disturbed by various literary quarrels. II Lasca ranks as one of the great masters of Tuscan prose. David Herbert Lawrence (1885 – 1930) was an English novelist, short story writer, poet, playwright, literary critic, travel writer, essayist, and painter. His modernist works reflect on modernity, social alienation and industrialization, while championing sexuality, vitality and and instinct. Four of his most famous novels – Sons and Lovers (1913), The Rainbow (1915), Women in Love (1920), and Lady Chatterley's Lover (1928) – were the subject of censorship trials for their radical portrayals of romance, sexuality and use of explicit language. During his final years, Lawrence renewed his serious interest in oil painting. Official harassment persisted; an exhibition of his paintings at the Warren Gallery in London was raided by the police in mid-1929, and several works were confiscated. Numbered 428. Translated with an Introduction by D. H. Lawrence. RAREA1929ABDP - 03/26 - HK3461.…
