Summary:

World 'Comes over one an absolute necessity to move'. This opening sentence of his 'Sea and Sardinia' from 1921 is strikingly telling about D.H. Lawrence's life, which can be considered both literally and metaphorically as a journey to the sun. In this respect, as the title of our symposium, 'Lake Garda: Gateway to D.H. Lawrence's Voyage to the Sun', suggests, he began his life-long quest in Gargnano, in 1912. This eponymous book draws together the papers presented at the Gargnano Symposium in 2012 to commemorate the centenary of the writer's stay in that 'paradise' (3 September 1912-11 April 1913).
