About the Authors
  • This first complete edition of Lawrence's plays contains eight full-length plays and two fragments. Six of the plays, written between 1909 and 1913, are arguably among Lawrence's finest early work. Yet Lawrence never saw a play of his own on the stage. Only two were performed in his lifetime, and only three published. Since then, the plays have existed only in faulty or incomplete texts; this edition, drawn from Lawrence's manuscripts, makes it possible for the first time to read and to stage Lawrence's plays as he wrote them.

    • The first complete edition of Lawrence's plays
    • An edition based on original manuscripts and typescripts, making it possible for the first time to read and to stage Lawrence's plays as he wrote them
    • A major addition to acclaimed Cambridge edition of Lawrence's works

    Reviews & endorsements

    "The edition provides complete texts of the plays based on careful scrutiny of the extant manuscripts and typescripts... The Introduction offers a wealth of interesting material... The new Cambridge edition of The Plays provides a model for scholarly publishing. It provides authoritative texts and everything else that the student of Lawrence's drama could require for a study of the plays." Nora Stovel, The Book Reviews
