description: Lawrence's work is placed in the context of developments in the tradition of Romantic poet-philosophers and visionary thinkers. Robert E. Montgomery shows how Lawrence reacted to the work of Nietzsche, Heraclitus and Jacob Boehme, where he found ideas similar to his own and precedents for his attempts to evolve a new mode of prophetic-poetical-philosophical discourse, and how Lawrence's place in the visionary tradition differs from that of contemporaries Eliot and Yeats. The result is an exploration of the complex vision that informs and unifies Lawrence's work.
