  • Apocalypse and the Writings on Revelation by D.H. Lawrence, edited by Mara Kalnins
    Cambridge, 249 pp, £12.50, October 1980, ISBN 0 521 22407 1

Lawrence on the Revelation which was vouchsafed to the Biblical John of Patmos? Those who know both writers can only fear the worst. Woozy metaphysics. Wild history. Blood-stained theology. Vituperation galore. Promises of chaos to come. Even more dismaying glimpses of redemption to follow.
