Synopsis
D H Lawrence, one of the great writers of this century, visited Australia in 1922. Athough his stay was brief and passed largely unnoticed, it led to two major novels, a poem, a number of letters and an influence that touched several of his subsequent works. For many years this period in Lawrence's life has been largely ignored or underestimated by both scholars and Australians, who imagined that his visit was of little significance. Robert Darroch's recent research and discoveries have thrown a new and fascinating light on Lawrence's time in Australia and the major novel he wrote in New South Wales between June and July 1922, KANGAROO. This book, dismissed up until now as unreal and a figment of the author's odd imagination, is in fact a unique glimpse at a half-forgotten period of violence and hatred in Australia, a period when secret fascist armies were formed to fight socialism and communism. D H Lawrence came across one of these sinister organisations during his stay, and KANGAROO was written as a result of this contact. D H LAWRENCE IN AUSTRALIA is the strange and intriguing story of this period in Lawrence's life. This book has has a "donated to" sticker on the front end page but never made it to library shelves.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
