Produktbeschreibung
Robert Darroch has long had an interest in D.H. Lawrence's time in Australia and the novel he wrote there in 1922, Kangaroo. Currently he is President of the D.H. Lawrence Society of Australia, which he helped found in 1992. In 1980 he wrote a book about Lawrence's Australian visit, D.H. Lawrence in Australia, and has written numerous articles on the subject, several of which have been published in the main Lawrence journal, the D.H. Lawrence Review. He is a former journalist and now runs an internet publishing company in Australia. In 1972, at the University of Texas in Austin, where he was helping his wife researching her biography of Lady Ottoline Morrell, they were summoned to the office of the Director of the Humanities Research Center (Dr Warren Roberts - Lawrence's bibliographer) who suggested that, being Australians, they look into Lawrence's time in Australia, and the novel he wrote there. Roberts had just been named as general editor of a Critical Edition of Lawrence's literary works and was looking for editors of the various editions. What Darroch did not learn until five years later was that the editor Roberts had originally chosen for Kangaroo (a fellow American bibliographer) had recently been murdered. The coincidence that two Australians were doing research at his Center apparently afforded him the opportunity to find a replacement. Shortly after this (no doubt at Dr. Roberts' suggestion) the publisher of the Cambridge University Press asked Robert Darroch to put in a proposal to edit Kangaroo. In the event, Darroch's proposal was not accepted (though he and Roberts kept on the best of terms) Now, four decades on, Darroch has edited a new edition of Kangaroo, with the text, and its ending, Roberts believed Lawrence "really wanted."
Autorenporträt
David Herbert Lawrence was born on September 11, 1885. He was not only an important but also disputable English essayist of the 20th century. He was one of the main scholars of English Modernism. Lawrence was a skilled author who wrote several books, brief tales, sonnets, plays, papers, travel guides, artistic creations, interpretations, abstract analyses, and individual letters. Lawrence is remembered today for stretching the boundaries beyond what was regarded as satisfactory in abstract fiction whereas different Modernists such as Joyce and Woolf were content to radicalize the types of writing, Lawrence focused on extending the scope of the artistic topic. Specifically, he consolidated Freudian therapy, forthright portrayals of sexuality, and enchanted strict subjects into his works that were very unexpected and fresh to the crowds of his time. Even though he is regarded as one of the main figures in the early history of Modernism, Lawrence stays questionable. His monstrous result is famously lopsided and he never lived to the point of refining his views into reasonable thoughts. Different pundits mock Lawrence unequivocally and it is the case that a portion of his lesser works was composed more to stun than to illuminate the brain with the brightness of workmanship genuinely. Regardless, Lawrence was a virtuoso of the greatest request, and his most modern sonnets and books are among the most persuasive works of 20th-century writing.
