D.H. Lawrence’s uncensored poems published for the first time

The collection has been published for the very first time in their original uncensored form, nearly 100 years after Lawrence wrote them.

The two volume edition – the first ever critical edition of Lawrence's poetry and the final part of Cambridge University Press's 40-volume series of Lawrence's letters and works – restores deleted passages and lines removed by publishers who feared government intervention because of Lawrence's anti-war stance and his attacks on British imperialism.

Some 860 poems are published in the new edition. They include All of Us, a sequence of 31 war poems never before published in full, as well as many others unpublished in Lawrence's lifetime.

One poem, Rose Look Out Upon Me, was previously unpublished in any form and was discovered by the volume's editor Christopher Pollnitz in a typescript formerly held in a private collection.

It was only in 1960 that the ban on D.H. Lawrence's controversial novel, Lady Chatterley's Lover, was finally lifted which marked a great milestone for censorship in Britain.
