Lawrence gathers his philosophical essays of 1915 to 1925, beginning with “The Crown”, written in wartime London for a tiny paper he started with John Middleton Murry. Pieces on the novel, love, power and aristocracy follow, and the title essay starts from his shooting of a porcupine on his New Mexico ranch to argue about the hierarchy of living things.
Lawrence at his most provocative, for readers who want the ideas behind the novels. Download the free EPUB.
