Rezensionen

"There is no doubt that Beer's study is learned, comprehensive and very interesting to read for anyone who wants to contextualize Lawrence's work ... Beer's well written monograph offers an elaborate presentation of the biographical and philosophical structure and substructure of much of Lawrence's work and is of interest to all those who are interested in a comprehensive and sophisticated contextualising approach to Lawrence." (Stefan Horlacher, Archiv für das Studium der neueren Sprachen und Literaturen, Vol. 254 (1), 2017)
