DH Lawrence has proved an endlessly fascinating, and controversial, subject for memoirists, literary biographers and the public. Since his death in 1930, his legacy has been subject to continual re-evaluation in line with shifts in his literary reputation and changing perceptions of his impact on 20th-century culture. This exhibition traces the origins and development of the biographical preoccupation with Lawrence. The display draws on original manuscripts and correspondence, contemporary memoirs and other resources in the University of Nottingham’s nationally designated DH Lawrence Collections.
