Publisher's Synopsis
In 1912, D H Lawrence left England for the first time. No ordinary tourists notebook, Twilight in Italy is a sharp-eyed and sensuous narrative. Written when Lawrence was at the height of his creative powers, the sense of the author himself contributes much to the sense of place a rural Italy awaiting war and industrialization.
Still stunning in its power to shock and enthrall, the landscapes and people become a backdrop to Lawrences musings on life, nature, religion and the fate of man.
