The novel tells the ...

Lawrence's essays on American writers--including Franklin, Hawthorne, and Whitman--are inventive, illuminating, brilliant, and decidedly eccentric. While they were in progress, he described them to a friend as "a thrilling blood-and-thunder, your-money-or-your-life kind of thing: hands up America!" They were published in the English Review in 1918 ...

In the judgment of many, Lawrence's expansive genius found its happiest expression within disciplined limits, for in his short stories and short novels his powers are never weakened by the repetitions which mar some of his longer works. As a short-story writing, Lawrence at his best was unexcelled.
