Summary

"In 1912, D.H. Lawrence met Frieda von Richthofen, the wife of his former professor, and fell in Jove with her. The pair eloped to Bavaria - leaving her three children behind - and two years later they were married. D.H. Lawrence and Frieda follows the fates of these two strong people as they overcame one obstacle after another to their commitment. As their love matured, their loyalty to each other was tested time and again from both inside and outside their marriage." "D. H. Lawrence and Frieda challenges the reader to see the Lawrences in a new light. The author Michael Squires has had privileged access to hundreds of Frieda's unpublished letters, and draws on them to portray a powerful but atypical marriage, in which disappointment and infidelity damaged but also strengthened the Lawrences' marital bond. Out of these new sources emerges a fresh clarity about the successive stages of their love - from infatuation and intimacy, to love and deepened respect, to a loss of emotional coherence."--Jacket
