Editing D. H. Lawrence (section)

===Exile===
After the wartime years, Lawrence began what he termed his "savage pilgrimage", a time of voluntary exile from his native country. He escaped from Britain at the earliest practical opportunity and returned only twice for brief visits, spending the remainder of his life travelling with Frieda. This [[wanderlust]] took him to Australia, Italy, [[British Ceylon|Ceylon]] ([[Sri Lanka]]), the United States, Mexico and the [[south of France]]. Abandoning Britain in November 1919, they headed south, first to the [[Abruzzo]] region in central Italy and then onwards to [[Capri]] and the Fontana Vecchia in [[Taormina]], Sicily. From Sicily they made brief excursions to [[Sardinia]], [[Monte Cassino]], [[Malta]], Northern Italy, Austria and Southern Germany.

Many of these places appear in Lawrence's writings, including ''[[The Lost Girl]]'' (for which he won the [[James Tait Black Memorial Prize]] for fiction), ''[[Aaron's Rod (novel)|Aaron's Rod]]'' and the fragment titled ''[[Mr Noon]]'' (the first part of which was published in the Phoenix anthology of his works, and the entirety in 1984). He wrote [[novellas]] such as ''[[The Captain's Doll]]'', ''[[The Fox (novella)|The Fox]]'' and ''[[The Ladybird]]''. In addition, some of his short stories were issued in the collection ''[[England, My England and Other Stories]]''. During these years Lawrence also wrote poems about the natural world in ''[[Birds, Beasts and Flowers]]''.

Lawrence is often considered one of the finest travel writers in English. His travel books include ''Twilight in Italy'', ''Etruscan Places'', ''[[Mornings in Mexico]]'', and ''[[Sea and Sardinia]]'', which describes a brief journey he undertook in January 1921 and focuses on the life of [[Sardinia]]'s people.<ref>Luciano Marrocu, ''Introduzione'' to Mare e Sardegna (Ilisso 2000); [[Giulio Angioni]], ''Pane e formaggio e altre cose di Sardegna'' (Zonza 2002)</ref> Less well known is his eighty-four page introduction to [[Maurice Magnus]]'s 1924 ''Memoirs of the Foreign Legion'',<ref>Maurice Magnus.

Lawrence told his friend [[Catherine Carswell]] that his introduction to Magnus's ''Memoirs'' was "the best single piece of writing, as ''writing'', that he had ever done".<ref>Lawrence, D. H., ''Memoir of Maurice Magnus'', p. 9 (introduction by Keith Cushman).</ref>

His other nonfiction books include two responses to [[Freudian]] [[psychoanalysis]], ''Psychoanalysis and the Unconscious'' and ''Fantasia of the Unconscious''; ''Apocalypse and Other Writings on Revelation''; and ''[[Movements in European History]]'', a school textbook published under a pseudonym, is a reflection of Lawrence's blighted reputation in Britain.
