“Preface:
Though Lawrence’s life an works have been subject to intensive scrutiny, my own research – and the use of unpublished essays and letters of Lawrence and his circle – has revealed significant new information about the influence of coal mining and Congregationalism on Lawrence’s mother’s death, Lawrence’s physical sterility, the reasons for the suppression of The Rainbow and his exhibition of paintings, his friendship with the Cornish farmer William Henry Hocking, Ford Madox Ford’s role in Lawrence’s expulsion from Cornwall, the origins of his connection with Alfred Knopf and the clinical history of his tuberculosis.  I also provide new interpretations of several works, including “England, My England,” “The Rocking-Horse Winner” and “The Princess”.”
