 In the patio of his house Mr. Lawrence sits on a sunny morning in Mexico: and he ‘makes an instant friend of the reader’ (the publisher assures you on the back of the dust-cover) by telling you that he is only ‘one little individual looking at a bit of sky and trees, then looking down at the page of an exercise book.’ (Exercise book! Quite like a little child.) he is nothing if not democratic, Mr Lawrence: just a ‘little individual' like yourself, dear reader, but bringing you a sunlit Morning all the way from Mexico... I need not point, out to the reader, probably, the virtues of this passage as a tour de force of literary art. It is reminiscent of the best manner of Anatole France, only possessing greater freshness—and indeed the whole book is one of the best of Mr. Lawrence’s that I have read.

Much of D.H. Lawrence's life was defined by his passion for travel and it was those wanderings that gave life to some of his greatest novels. In the 1920s Lawrence travelled several times to Mexico, where he was fascinated by the clash of beauty and brutality, purity and darkness that he observed. The diverse and evocative essays that make upMornings in Mexico wander from an admiring portrayal of the Indian way of life to a visit to the studio of Diego Rivera and are brightly adorned with simple and evocative details: piles of fruit in a village market, strolls in a courtyard filled with hibiscus and roses, the play of light on an adobe wall. It was during his time in Mexico that Lawrence re-wroteThe Plumed Serpent, which is infused with his own experiences there. To readMornings in Mexico is thus to discover the inspiration behind of one of Lawrence's most loved works and to be immersed in a portrait of the country like no other.
