Burning Man by Frances Wilson

The Ascent of D. H. Lawrence

An inventive, Dante-inspired portrait of D. H. Lawrence that follows his fiery temperament, stormy marriage to Frieda, quarrels with friends, clashes with censors, and perpetual wanderings across Europe, Australia, and the Americas, showing how exile and movement stoked his art. Blending biography and criticism, it traces a descent through emotional and creative trials toward moments of hard-won clarity, illuminating the myths, landscapes, and relationships that fueled a singular modernist vision.
