| Content Description | Acknowledges Keith Sagar's acceptance of the truth of their statements about D.H. Lawrence and Frieda; comments forcefully and at length on inaccuracies concerning Lawrence's early life firstly alluding to Frieda's views on H.T. Moore's 'The Intelligent Heart'; considers Bert's portrayal of his father in 'Sons and Lovers' to be 'a pack of lies' stressing that he was not a boozer but when Bert had drink 'he made a fool of himself'; after commenting on their reluctance to be interviewed, particularly by Americans, and giving news of his wife's recent serious illness quotes the finish of Bert's essay on the novel 'Give me the novel, let me hear what the novel says. Usually the novelist is a dribbling liar'. |
