Review:

Moore, the world’s leading authority on the life of Lawrence, has produced an important new revision of his stand�ard biography of the novelist. . . . So much has been learned about Lawrence in the last dozen years that this new edition, long overdue, constitutes a major event for the myriad admirers of Lawrence and students of modern litera�ture. Unlike some recent literary biog�raphers, the author is not defeated by the wealth of materials at his disposal. If anything, this edition is even more carefully shaped than its predecessor. Moore has added extensively to his biography. . . . [The author’s] sympa�thetic portrait in the biography is al�ways judicious, and he isn’t afraid to talk about such topics as homosexuality, anti-Semitism, and the fascistic strain in the novels of the 1920’s.” Keith Cushman, Library
