- L. Simon, emerita, Skidmore College, CHOICE

This rich volume allows us to visualize Lawrence anew, and to reassess a very familiar writer through a series of newly recovered contexts.

- James Moran, University of Nottingham, D. H. Lawrence Review

The Edinburgh Edition of the Waverley Novels (EEWN) has undoubtedly established an editorial standard which raises the bar for all new critical editions of Walter Scott's work.

The fascinating and illuminating essays in this expertly curated volume open up new ways of understanding and appreciating the work of one of the most original and important of twentieth-century writers. Individual essays open up Lawrence's deep engagement with central debates about aesthetics and, in his roles as critic-practitioner, with the range of the arts and artistic production. A superb collection.

Laura Marcus, University of Oxford

The Edinburgh Companion in particular offers thought-provoking reflections on how Lawrence’s aesthetics and heuristic approach to writing have shaped and continue to shape his legacy in both scholarship and popular culture.

Offers the most comprehensive assessment yet of Lawrence's relationship with the arts?Places Lawrence in the context of the latest developments in fields including life writing, posthumanism, queer theory, and technology studiesConsiders Lawrence's continued reception in other people's art, and the nature of his relevance todayThis book includes twenty-eight innovative chapters by specialists from across the arts, reassessing Lawrence's relationship to aesthetic categories and specific art forms in their historical and critical contexts. A new picture of Lawrence as an artist emerges, expanding from traditional areas of enquiry in prose and poetry into the fields of drama, painting, sculpture, music, architecture, dance, historiography, life writing and queer aesthetics. The Companion presents original research on topics such as Lawrence's politics in his art, his representations of technology, his practice of revising and rewriting, and the relationship between his criticism and creation of prose, poetry and painting. This interdisciplinary Companion also makes a strong case for Lawrence's continuing relevance and aesthetic power, as represented by case studies of his afterlives in biofiction, cinema, musical settings and portraiture.
