In 'Twilight in Italy', D.H. Lawrence offers a collection of short travel essays that provide insight into the author's complex worldview. Written during the First World War, Lawrence's work is haunted by the mechanized death that defined the conflict, infusing his musings on national character, religion, and philosophy with a fascination with mortality. Through evocative essays such as 'The Crucifix Across the Mountains' and 'The Lemon Gardens', Lawrence offers a vivid portrait of Italy and its people.
