Etruscan Places

Meer over het boek

D. H. Lawrence's travel writings offer a compelling juxtaposition between the vibrant Etruscan civilization and the decline of Mussolini's Italy in the late 1920s. Through his exploration of Etruscan culture, which remains largely mysterious, Lawrence provides unique insights into this ancient society. The book includes chapters on various locations significant to Etruscan history, such as Tarquinia and Vulci, enriching the reader's understanding of both the past and the contemporary landscape of Italy. A new prefatory biography enhances the volume's context.
