Living at the edge: a biography of D.H. Lawrence and Frieda von Richthofen. Madison, Wis.: University of Wisconsin Press, 2002, 1st printing number line 54321, xv, 501pp., . "Living at the Edge follows the separate lives of Lawrence and Frieda up to their first meeting in 1912. Tracing their new life together, it depicts their grateful escape from the English Midlands; their discovery of exotic places where they made temporary homes - Italy, Cornwall, Australia, New Mexico, and Mexico; Lawrence's courageous battle against illness; and, after his death in 1930, Frieda's success in recreating the simple life on ranches near Taos, New Mexico, where she died in 1956."., "At the center of their story is Lawrence's literary career. Biographers Squires and TaIbot see Lawrence's major novels - The Rainbow, Women in Love, Lady Chatterley's Lover - as a fresh way to understand his turbulent and conflicted life. They reveal the extreme care with which he rewrote his personal experience to satisfy his deepest needs, and they introduce the many influential people who entered the Lawrences' lives and work. The rich materials from Frieda's letters reveal a different Lawrence - more difficult as a man but more interesting as an artist; they also reveal a different Frieda - more vibrant as a woman, more substantial as a companion. This biography gives both Lawrence and Frieda striking new dimensions." - CONTENTS: Lawrence in the English Midlands -- The Apprentice Schoolteacher -- Frieda Finds Her Destiny -- Their Adventure Begins -- Exploring the Unknown -- The Dawn of The Rainbow -- Crisis -- Disappointment -- The Discovery of Cornwall -- Women in Love: The Masterpiece -- Suspicion -- Wartime Castaways -- The Sun Rises Again -- Farewell to Fontana Vecchia -- The Voyage Out -- The Lure of the Indians -- Reconciliation -- The Mysteries of Oaxaca -- What Lawrence Discovered -- Lady Chatterley's Lover: The Last Novel -- The End and the Beginning -- A New Life for Frieda -- Frieda and Angelo at Los Pinos -- Port Isabel, Peace, and Marriage. 9780299177508 ISBN 0299177505 28.60.
