Abstract

Preconceptions of another country can take hold of an artists imagination as America did Kafkas and Lorcas but who knew that D. H. Lawrence developed a comprehensive idea of Australia long before his one hundred-day visit? Or how central that was to his later work? The objective of David Game, Honorary Lecturer at the Australian National University, is modestly expressed: to throw new light on the significance of [Lawrence's] overall engagement with Australia its place in his life and art (7). He does much more in a work of major scholarship.
