D.H. Lawrence and Italy : Twilight in Italy, Sea and Sardinia, Sketches of Etruscan places - London : Penguin Books, 2007. - xxix,495 p. ; 20 cm - Penguin Classics .

Includes bibliographical references and index.

In these impressions of the Italian countryside, Lawrence transforms ordinary incidents into passages of intense beauty. Twilight in Italy is an account of Lawrence's stay among the people of Lake Garda, whose decaying lemon gardens bear witness to the twilight of a way of life centuries old. In Sea and Sardina, Lawrence explores the vigorous spontaneity of a society as yet untouched by the deadening effect of industrialisation. And Sketches of Etruscan Places is a delicate work of literary art, the record of 'a dying man drinking from the founts of a civilisation dedicated to life'
