"No other book about a specific period of DH Lawrence's life exploits so fully his experiences and the ensuing influence of his writing as does LAWRENCE IN OAXACA. Many writers about Lawrence fail to do the research necessary for making the critical judgement to separate Lawrence the imaginative writer from the Lawrence the social historian.
