Peregrine Smith, 1984. Hardcover. New. 8x5x1. GIFT QUALITY 1984 hardcover with dust jacket. STILL SEALED IN PUBLISHER'S ORIGINAL SHRINKWRAP! Never opened! Uncommon thus. "No other book about a specific period of DH Lawrence's life exploits so fully his experiences and the ensuing influence of his writing as does LAWRENCE IN OAXACA. Many writers about Lawrence fail to do the research necessary for making the critical judgement to separate Lawrence the imaginative writer from the Lawrence the social historian. Although author Ross Parmenter acknowledges Lawrence's genius for writing about people and places, he does not hesitate to recognize the intellectual arrogance which prevented Lawrence from understanding much of what he saw. As a source book for Lawrence's Mexican experience, Parmenter's LAWRENCE IN OAXACA will remain unsurpassed.
