<p>D. H. Lawrence first left England in 1912 and almost immediately began recording his reaction to foreign cultures. Many of those writings became a series of travel articles intended to be published in newspapers; two of them are published here for the first time, deemed too anti-German at the time. Other essays were modified and added to even more observations for Lawrences first travel book, <i>Twilight in Italy</i>, published in 1916. Shaped by the atmosphere of the War, and its rampant anxieties, these essays are imbued with Lawrences intellectual daring and confidence, which raise them above a conventional travel book. </p><p>ABOUT THE SERIES <br><i>"e;The Cambridge edition has restoredperhaps createdtexts which are authoritative enough to stand for another fifty years."e; (Literary Review) </i></p><p>D. H. Lawrence is one of the great writers of the twentieth centuryyet the texts of his writings, whether published during his lifetime or since, are textually corrupt. He was forced to accept the often-stringent house-styling of his printers, not to mention intrusive editing due to his publishers timidity.</p><p>A team of scholars at Cambridge University Press has worked for more than thirty years to restore the definitive texts of D. H. Lawrence. The <i>Cambridge Edition </i>provides texts of all of his works, which are as close as can now be determined to those he would have wished to see printed.</p><p>The texts are established through rigorous collation of all extant materials, from draft manuscripts to first book publication, identifying errors made by copyists, typists and printers; house-styling by printers; and censorship and bowdlerization by publishers.</p><p>The <i>Cambridge Editions </i>were published between 1979 and 2011. This is the first time they have been available in eBook form.</p>
