Customer Reviews

Worth buying for inclusion of "Not I but the Wind"

I bought this book because it includes Frieda Lawrence's many years out-of-print memoir "Not I but the Wind." The memoir, despite deliberate omissions on Frieda's part, is well worth reading for anyone interested in DH Lawrence. Rosemary Jackson's main contribution is an oh-so-twentieth-century feminist essay that attempts to dispel myths about Frieda. She fails and not only because she bored this reader. It's ironic that a writer should attempt to rescue Frieda from myths when the latter is much the more effective in creating her own.
