Binding: Paperback

Author: Lawrence, D. H.

Details: Apocalypse is D. H. Lawrences last book, written during the winter of 1929–30 when he was dying. It is a radical criticism of our civilisation and a statement of Lawrences unwavering belief in mans power to create a new heaven and a new earth. Ranging over the entire system of his thought on God and man, on religion, art, psychology and politics, this book is Lawrences final attempt to convey his vision of man and the universe. Apocalypse was published after Lawrences death, and in a highly inaccurate text. This edition is the first to reproduce accurately Lawrences final corrected text on the basis of a thorough examination of the surviving manuscript and typescript. In the introduction the editor has discussed the writing of Apocalypse and its place in Lawrences works, its publication and reception, and the significance of Lawrences other writings on the Book of Revelation.
