Boulton, gives the first 580 letters in the series, covering the period September 1901 to May 1913.

There are letters to his early loves, Jessie Chambers, Louie Burrows and Helen Corke. He writes The White Peacock, The Trespasser, Sons and Lovers, the early stories and poems. He is welcomed into the literary world by editors such as Ford and Garnett; he meets Pound and other writers; he reads widely.

There are over thirty photographs of his friends and correspondents and a newly discovered portrait miniature of Lawrence. |
