Inhaltsangabe

This book examines D.H. Lawrence’s attempts to establish a utopian community in Cornwall during WWI. Lawrence was drawn to the idea of a ’Celtic Cornwall’ beyond England’s reach and thus remote from the war. But it caught up with Cornwall and Lawrence, resulting in disillusion and eventual expulsion. He described his Cornish sojourn in Kangaroo.
