David Herbert Lawrence and Sicily

More about the book

Set in December 1920, the narrative follows Lawrence and his wife Frieda as they settle in Taormina, Sicily. Captivated by the stunning landscape, vibrant local culture, and the majestic Mount Etna, Lawrence immerses himself in writing poetry and prose. His admiration for the region is evident in his correspondence, where he expresses a deep appreciation for Etna's beauty, deeming it far superior to Vesuvius. The book explores themes of inspiration and the profound connection between an artist and their environment.
