D.H. Lawrence : Lost Girl, The

'He read "The Lost Girl" at the end of November just when he was himself most deeply engaged in trivia, and immediately recognizes it as "the work of a genius", Lawrence as "far and away the best of the younger school"'.

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book

'D. H. Lawrence . . . reviewed the novel [The World of William Clissold by Wells] in the "Calendar" of October 1926, in a piece which Bennett says shows his "childish and spiteful disposition".'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Serial / periodical

  

D.H. Lawrence : Virgin and the Gipsy, The

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book

  

D.H. Lawrence : Lost Girl, The

'I have just read the latter. ["The Lost Girl".] It is very remarkable indeed, and would be great if it had a real theme and some construction. This man is a genius, and is far and away the best of the younger school.'

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Arnold Bennett      Print: Book

  

D.H. Lawrence : Lady Chatterley's Lover

'When, years later, I first read "Lady Chatterley's Lover", I did not feel that I was being liberated into a new frankness of manhood: I felt that I was returning to baby-talk'.

Century: 1900-1945     Reader/Listener/Group: Norman Nicholson      Print: Book

  

D.H. Lawrence : Trees and Babies and Papas and Mamas

The Lawrence is magnificent. Pity he is falling more & more into the trick of repeating a word or a phrase. It irritates the reader & enfeebles the sturff. Also the connection between trees & human beings is not very strong. But really this article is the goods. The Tomlinson article is also magnificent. Not better stuff than this is being done. The K.M. story is excellently characteristic. Mr. Joiner is good; it halts at the beginning. . . . I think the number is simply splendid—especially for a first number. & you are to be seriously & gravely congratulated upon it.

D.H. Lawrence : [unknown]

'At 7.15pm, I go to a new series of readings from famous authors on the English countryside - selections from Mary Webb, D.H. Lawrence and Adrian Bell. The commentary, is read by the Bishop of Singapore.'

D.H. Lawrence : The Virgin and the Gypsy

In the main, the reviews of I.P. [Imperial Palace] have been excellent. But it is curious that 2 out of 3 of Max’s papers were excessively rude about it, the third (Sunday Express) was fulsome. I wrote privately to the Editor off the Standard pointing out grave misstatements in fact in Bruce Lockhart’s article on it. He could offer no defence whatever. Similarly I protested to the editor of the Times Lit. Supplement about its assertion that I had been imitating Priestley’s fashion of length, for the sake of gain. . . . Maugham’s 'Cakes & Ale' is 1st rate. But easily the finest of all recent novels is D.H. Lawrence’s 'The Virgin and the Gipsy'. Nothing else exists by the side of it. Believe me. It is marvellous, truly.

D.H. Lawrence : The Virgin and the Gypsy

When you have read 'The Virgin and the Gipsy' you might get the volume of stories called 'The Woman who Rode Away' and read the title-story. After that 'The Rainbow'—if you can get it. It was suppressed here by the police and I have no copy. Some unprincipled friend has stolen it from me. I am delighted that you enjoyed 'Evan Harrington'. . . . I agree with you that 'Memoirs of an Infantry Officer' is an even better book than 'Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man'.
