Twilight in Italy
In 1912, a young D.H. He spent nearly a year on the shores of Lake Garda, lodged in elegantly decaying houses set amid lemon groves and surrounded by the fading life of traditional Italy. Lawrence traveled to northern Italy.
This is a travel book unlike any other, where landscapes and people are backdrops to Lawrence's deeper wanderings-into philosophy, life, nature, religion and the fate of man. It was here that he wrote Sons and Lovers and here too that we see the early flowering of the prose that would come to define Lawrence's oeuvre. With sensuous descriptions of late harvests, darkening days and the fragility of ancient traditions, Twilight in Italy is suffused with nostalgia and premonition.
For, looming over the idyll of rural Italy are the arrival of the industrial age and the brewing storm of World War I; upheavals that would change the face of Europe
