Description: Editing D. H. Lawrence takes the Cambridge University Press edition of The Letters and Works of D. H. Lawrence, the first complete re-editing of a modern writer, as a test case in the intersection of textual theory, editorial praxis, and publishing history. The contributors, ten of whom have edited Lawrence for Cambridge or other presses, reflect on important questions raised by the project.

How has understanding of Lawrence's creativity and the nature of critical editing been altered by the Cambridge project? Has editing revealed or disguised the processes through which Lawrence's oeuvre reached its multifarious forms? How has this creative process been incorporated into editorial theories, practices, and editions? What have Lawrence's editors assimilated from the community of literary theorists?
