Recenzii
"D. H. Lawrence’s Australia is a model of scholarly research, wide-ranging in its reference, written in a lively and accessible style. It is likely to be the most authoritative book on the subject for some time to come." – Neil Roberts, JDHLS 2016
"This is a fine book with an original approach to D. H. Lawrence’s writings on Australia. The topic has never been marked out so well nor been covered with such close attention before. The continuity of the Australian works with the rest of Lawrence’s writings is given a compelling demonstration." --Paul Eggert, Loyola University Chicago, USA
"David Game’s book diligently musters every bit of evidence of Lawrence’s interest in Australia, and discusses his Australian books with sympathy and perception. He makes a convincing argument for rereading Kangaroo and The Boy in the Bush in the light of Lawrence’s ideas about the degeneration of industrial society, and in the context of his whole life and work." --Susan Lever, Inside Story
"Let me state unequivocally that the range, depth, and continuity of this volume of intellectual history, regional culture, and textual analysis remain outstanding on every level. Game ably documents how Lawrence’s "literary engagement with Australia" reflects a lifelong interest in the novelist, starting with early fiction in 1907 and concluding with poignant references just before his death in 1930...This is a superb volume of valuable and timely research, and it deserves our full attention." - Peter Balbert, Trinity University, English Literature in Transition 1990-1920, 59:3
"Extensively researched and informative…D.H. Lawrence’s Australia is a critical work whose attention to detail will surely be of great benefit to subsequent Lawrentians…it should prove an invaluable resource for those interested in how travel writing became an integral part of Lawrence’s artistic journey, or indeed for those concerned with the cultural history of modernism in Australia." --Paul Giles, University of Sydney, Australian Book Review

Descriere
In this first full-length account of D.H. Lawrence’s rich engagement with a country he found both fascinating and frustrating, Game examines how Australia informed the utopian and regenerative visions that characterize so much of Lawrence’s work. He sheds new light on Lawrence’s attitudes towards Australian Aborigines, women and colonialism, and revisits key aspects of Lawrence’s development as a novelist and thinker.
