Poste Restante: A Lawrence Travel Calendar by Harry T. Moore offers a meticulously detailed account of the travels of D.H. Lawrence, intertwining geography and biography to provide a comprehensive picture of Lawrence's nomadic life and its profound influence on his work. This "geographical biography" serves as both a valuable tool for Lawrence scholars and an engaging resource for literary enthusiasts, charting his journey across continents and mapping his evolving creative and spiritual explorations. The title, inspired by Lawrence's frequent reliance on poste restante for correspondence, encapsulates the transient nature of his existence-a life defined by movement, discovery, and a quest for a deeper understanding of the world and himself.
Moore's work is more than a chronological compilation of Lawrence's travels; it is a careful reconstruction of his whereabouts, using letters, postcards, memoirs, and previously unpublished materials. The calendar is a vital resource for biographers, editors, and collectors, offering insights into Lawrence's personal connections, creative inspirations, and the backdrop to his works. With a sharp eye for detail and an appreciation for Lawrence's complex character, Moore presents the travels not merely as physical journeys but as milestones in a spiritual odyssey. This book, both exhaustive in its research and engaging in its narrative, invites readers to view Lawrence's life through the lens of his restless wanderings, illuminating the profound interplay between place and artistic expression.
