"Unaccountably neglected among the works of major twentieth-century writers, the plays of D.H. Lawrence provide rich insights into the nature of this particular genius and its development. Spanning almost the whole of his writing career, from 1906 to 1926, the plays are a creative document of his never-ceasing search for new forms. Besides providing a fascinating commentary on Lawrence's other writings, the themes and preoccupations of which they consistently reflect, these plays are of the greatest interest in themselves, and this book sets out to give them the detailed critical attention that they have long deserved." – From the front fold over panel blurb.
