Sobre este artículo
200pp. Good/no dj. Hinges starting but cover is completely attached, otherwise a clean, tight copy with unmarked text block. Apocalypse is Lawrence's reflection on the book of Revelations. Previous owner's signature of Harry Thornton Moore (1908-1981), prolific literary critic, writer and biographer of Lawrence and others:
"American literary scholar and educator Harry Thornton Moore (1908-1981) is best remembered for his studies of the life and work of English novelist D.H. Lawrence but also wrote and edited works on other authors, including John Steinbeck, E.M. Forster, and Rainer Maria Rilke.
He is the author of numerous works of literary scholarship, including The Life and Works of D.H. Lawrence, published in 1951 and revised in 1963, as well as a biography of Lawrence, The Intelligent Heart (1954) (later revised and published in 1974 as The Priest of Love), which was the basis for a 1981 movie of the same name. In addition, Moore was the editor of several other works related to Lawrence, including several volumes of D.H. Lawrence's letters, uncollected and unpublished works by Lawrence and letters from, to, and about Frieda Lawrence, D.H. Lawrence's wife.
After serving as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army Air Force from 1942 to 1947, Moore received his Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1951. Moore taught at Babson Institute in Massachusetts from 1947 to 1957 and also served as the chair of the department of history and literature. From 1957, he served as a professor of English at Southern Illinois University where he was named professor emeritus in 1978."

Sinopsis
The son of a miner, the prolific novelist, poet, and travel writer David Herbert Lawrence was born in Eastwood, Nottinghamshire, in 1885. He attended Nottingham University and found employment as a schoolteacher. His first novel, The White Peacock , was published in 1911, the same year his beloved mother died and he quit teaching after contracting pneumonia. The next year Lawrence published Sons and Lovers and ran off to Germany with Frieda Weekley, his former tutor’s wife. His masterpieces The Rainbow and Women in Love were completed in quick succession, but the first was suppressed as indecent and the second was not published until 1920. Lawrence’s lyrical writings challenged convention, promoting a return to an ideal of nature where sex is seen as a sacrament. In 1928 Lawrence’s final novel, Lady Chatterley’s Lover , was banned in England and the United States for indecency. He died of tuberculosis in 1930 in Venice.
