Book tip via this morning's Roman Architecture class, D. H. LAWRENCE AND ITALY: SKETCHES FROM ETRUSCAN PLACES, SEA AND SARDINIA, TWILIGHT IN ITALY: "In these impressions of the Italian countryside, Lawrence transforms ordinary incidents into passages of intense beauty, a collection of travel writings first published posthumously in 1932. Lawrence contrasts the life affirming world of the Etruscans with the shabbiness of Benito Mussolini's Italy during the late 1920s. Those who have read Lawrence's fiction will recognize his writing. He describes what he encounters with a visceral language: people, clothing, food, establishments. Some of the places are stunning and some so filthy you wonder how he could have stayed overnight. These essays are classics. Etruscan Places almost single-handedly revived modern interest in the Etruscans and was essential to the preservation and study of their tombs and paintings. Throughout, Lawrence is sensitive and insightful. An added patina to these works is the fact that they were written in the 1930s during the build-up toward WWII. There is an immediacy mixed with nostalgia here that is compelling." http://www.amazon.com/D-H-Lawrence-Italy-Sketches/dp/0141441550 ##etruscan
