Here Love Ends: Frieda and D. H. Lawrence in Conflict, (Hardcover)

<b>An enquiry into the transformations in Lawrence's life and writing which took place between 1913 and 1917.</b> <p>Set alongside his relationship with Frieda Weekley, as revealed by letters and memoirs, his writing (like the first version of Women in Love) shows a Lawrence bedevilled by conflicts within and without: in his marriage to Frieda and because of the start of the First World War, in 1914; by the suppression of The Rainbow in 1915; and during his time in Cornwall with Frieda, Mansfield and Murry in 1916. </p><p>Worthen shows how Murry's biographical accounts of Lawrence are not as trustworthy as previous biographies assume; he also probes the evidence for Lawrence's now-notorious assault on Frieda in 1916, arguing that Mansfield's letters reveal a very different reality. </p><p>The book concludes with the breakdown of Lawrence's friendships with Mansfield and Murry and a reading of his 1918-21 novel Aaron's Rod, with which the sun sets on love and marriage as a major theme in his work. Here Love Ends, indeed.</p>
