The Consciousness of D.H. Lawrence: An Intellectual Biography

This biography of Lawrence is unlike any other in its focus on the essential character of the artist and in its synthesis of the facts of his life and thought. It is written not for specialists, but for general readers who wish to deepen their understanding of the development of Lawrence's thought and feeling over the course of his lifetime. The author blends intellectual biography and psychology to focus on Lawrence's religious nature as a shaping force in his life.

Daniel J. Schneider, professor of English at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is the author of D. H. Lawrence: The Artist as Psychologist, The Crystal Cage: Adventures of the Imagination in the Fiction of Henry James, and Symbolism: The Manichean Vision.
