The Married Man A Life of D.H. Lawrence
The author of the award-winning Nora: A Biography of Nora Joyce examines D.H. Lawrence's restless life through his marriage. She presents not the bearded prophet with baleful eye, but an hilarious mimic, an inspired teacher, a brilliant journalist, an ecological visionary. She addresses the charges thrown against Lawrence - misogyny, racism, pornography, repressed homosexuality, ingratitude, miserliness - and finds him guilty, but not as charged. The book contains Lawrence's own recorded admission that he was looking for bisexual lovers for himself, and explores, among other things, his furtive association with a neo-fascist secret army in Australia.
