In 1932, two years after D. H. Lawrence’s death, a young woman wrote a book about him and presented it to a Paris publisher. She recorded the event in her diary: “It will not be published and out by tomorrow, which is what a writer would like when the book is hot out of the oven, when it is alive within oneself. He gave it to his assistant to revise.” The woman was Anaïs Nin.

Nin examined Lawrence’s poetry, novels, essays, and travel writing. She analyzed and explained the more important philosophical concepts contained in his writings, particularly the themes of love, death, and religion, as well as his attention to primitivism and to women. But what Anaïs Nin brought to the explication of Lawrence’s writing was an understanding of the fusion of imaginative, intuitive, and intellectual elements from which he drew his characters, themes, imagery and symbolism.

Editorial Reviews

Review

“Lawrence has … given me a world to live in, a world where I fit. Over and over again, in his descriptions of women I find myself. In his treatment of language, in the poetic intensity of his prose, I find courage for my own writing. I find, at last, a kind of home.”—Anaïs Nin

About the Author

Anaïs Nin (1903–1977) is an iconic literary figure and one of the most notable experimental writers of the twentieth century. As one of the first women to explore female erotica, Nin revealed the inner desires of her characters in a way that made her works a touchstone for later feminist writers. Swallow Press is the premier US publisher of books by and about Nin.

Anaïs Nin (1903-1977) was born in Paris and aspired at an early age to be a writer. An influential artist and thinker, she wrote primarily fiction until 1964, when her last novel, Collages, was published. She wrote The House of Incest, a prose-poem (1936), three novellas collected in The Winter of Artifice (1939), short stories collected in Under a Glass Bell (1944), and a five-volume continuous novel consisting of Ladders to Fire (1946), Children of the Albatross (1947), The Four-Chambered Heart (1950), A Spy in the House of Love (1954), and Seduction of the Minotaur (1961). These novels were collected as Cities of the Interior (1974). She gained commercial and critical success with the publication of the first volume of her diary (1966); to date, fifteen diary volumes have been published. Her most commercially successful books were her erotica published as Delta of Venus (1977) and Little Birds (1979). Today, her books are appearing digitally, most notably with the anthology The Portable Anais Nin (2011).

"Who are you, Really?"

Reviewed in the United States on July 22, 2015

Verified Purchase

D.H. Lawrence was definitely ahead of his time regarding relationships between men and women. Relationship of love, which he beleived should be based on love, truth, and the personal growth, development, and honest expression of one's true identiy and feelings; certainly not those of society. Anais Nin wonderfully expresses, and informs us of these sentiments in her book, "D.H. Lawrence: An Unprofessional Study>"

A Departure

This is a departure from the stuff I had previously read of Anais Nin. A very thoughtful and insightful examination of the themes in Lawrence's literature. Thought provoking.

After reading several of Lawrence's books. Nin provides skillful and in-depth analysis book by book and poetry too. Much to underline.

elegy to a young womans hero

Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2000

D.H. Lawrence was obviously an enormous influence on Nin. One can almost visualize the young Nin being titilated by Women in Love or Lady Chatterlys Lover. Lawrence, no doubt, inspired Ms Nin to take up the pen in the first place. This unprofessional study is her tribute to this great writer. It is highly subjective (as is most criticism written by writers on other writers.) Nin touches on all aspects of Lawrence writing. She also lends a much needed feminine voice to the analysis of Lawrence. She seems to intuitively respond to the characters of Lawrence. This study really hits the spot. It is essential reading for any student of Lawrence. It also lends great insight into the artistic development of Anais Nin herself. (In some ways this book is as much about Nin as it is about Lawrence.) This study contains some outstanding writing from an author often undeservedly overshadowed by Henry Miller. This book should help to cement her own literary rank as a top notch writer.
