SYNOPSIS

To mark the centenary of the publication of DH Lawrence's novel Sons and Lovers, Geoff Dyer and scholar Catherine Brown retrace the Alpine journey that the author made with his lover Frieda Weekley in 1912. It was an extraordinary trip, which enabled him to complete his first masterpiece and also marked the moment when he decided to risk everything for his writing. Lawrence admirers including poet Simon Armitage, novelist Rachel Cusk and biographer John Worthen also give their opinions of his work.
