Items related to Sea And Sardinia
Exiled from conservative 1920s Britain and in search of a new home amid wilder landscapes and people, D H Lawrence and his wife, Frieda (Queen Bee), travel from Sicily to Sardinia. Known for their singular and volatile relationship, in Sea in Sardinia, Lawrence is irascible, Frieda amiable and the book is almost a journal of their brief mid-winter jaunt, suffused with beautiful prose, rich in symbolism and vivid, vital descriptions of people and place. Capturing a moment in time, the two islands, under Mussolini's fascist rule, evoke a world, in the aftermath of the First World War, on the verge of industrialization and enchanted by Nationalism. An entertaining and informative account for armchair travelers.

Book Description:
Sea and Sardinia records Lawrence's journey to Sardinia and back in January 1921. It reveals his response to a new landscape and people and his ability to transmute the spirit of place into literary art. This 1997 edition restores censored passages and corrects corrupt textual readings.
