Descriptif :


This topic relates not only to the poetico-philosophical ideas that Lawrence expresses in his essays, notably in "The Crown" and "Fantasia of the Unconscious", but also to the way they connect with his artistic production; What he read about Einstein's Theory of relativity in 1921 reinforced his belief in the importance of universal relatedness and personal relationships as well as his desire to reconcile the relative and the absolute in his art.
