Vtg Lorenzo: D. H. Lawrence and the Women and 37 similar items

With his high, piping voice and fragile physique, D. H. Lawrence bore little resemblance to the strong, handsome protagonists of his fiction. Yet there was something about Lawrence ? some indefinable but irresistibly seductive aura ? that led women to fight over him, adore him, and even worship him. Throughout his life there was at least one woman, and frequently more than one, with whom he had a close, special, and often hectic relationship. Emily Hahn has written a sparkling account of the enigmatic genius from a fresh viewpoint. She tells the fascinating story of Lawrence's obsession with his mother, even long after her death; of his tempestuous life with his wife, Frieda, his ideal "gushing woman"; and of his relationships with the many women who became his sweethearts, lovers, and confidantes both before and during his marriage... An appraisal of an extraordinary man whose life was uniquely dominated by women and who, in turn, profoundly and permanently touched the lives of women.
