Novel discovered in the 1980s[edit]

When I was doing "A" level English, back in the years 1983 to 1985, I heard that a lost novel by D.H. Lawrence had been discovered in these years. If anyone knows anything about this lost Lawrence novel, mention of it would make an interesting addition to the article. YTKJ (talk) 22:03, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The back cover of the Penguin paperback edition of Mr Noon states that Gilbert Noon's "story was continued in a manuscript that was lost until 1972." The manuscript was probably the "second fragment," published in 1984, that is referred to in Mr Noon. Someone might check this out and edit Mr Noon to mention its 1972 discovery, if my speculation is correct.Maurice Magnus (talk) 13:42, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

explanation needed[edit]

In the penultimate paragraph under "Later life and career," I just added "citation needed" to "The return to Italy allowed him to renew old friendships; during these years he was particularly close to Aldous Huxley, who was to edit the first collection of Lawrence's letters after his death, along with a memoir." But it needs more than a citation to the source of this information. The memoir should be identified. It is probably Lawrence's memoir, but that's not even clear; it could be Huxley's. I'm not aware that Lawrence wrote a memoir. Maurice Magnus (talk) 13:27, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Early life - location = Greasley[edit]

The article says "Lawrence spent his formative years in the coal mining town of Eastwood, Nottinghamshire"

The census records for 1891 and 1901 have him living with his parents and siblings; in 1891 in The Breach, and in 1901 in Walker Street. Both those addresses are recorded in the census as being in Greasley. Although today the postal addresses for both and the surrounding streets are in Eastwood, they were clearly at the time identified as being in Greasley and the article ought to reflect that. I know this constitutes original research so all I can do for now is leave this note here. 2600:1700:EA01:1090:D45E:CA:8424:865D (talk) 20:10, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given names[edit]

His baptism record of 29 November 1885 at St Mary Eastwood includes his parents' names but has his full name as David Herbert Richards Lawrence. 2600:1700:EA01:1090:D45E:CA:8424:865D (talk) 20:18, 24 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
