About this title

Review:

"A stylishly written, smoothly developed analysis of Lawrence's conflicted psyche."

"A intimate and compelling portrait...brings to light the many fascinating aspects of Lawrence's life."

"A fine, cogent and carefully reasoned book, and surely a major contribution to contemporary Lawrence scholarship."

"Worthen's single-volume life has the merit of pursuing a theme detectable in every phase of Lawrence's life: his perpetually renewed isolation."

"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."

About the Author:
