Part of this book's concern is to provide the evidence for Lawrence's acquaintance with the works of such Russian writers as Gorki, Chekhov, Kuprin, Shestov, Turgenev, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, and Rozanov. Lawrence himself confessed that the Russians "meant an enormous amount" to him, and this book attempts to explain the significance of this remark.
