FRIENDS AT THE DH LAWRENCE SPRING GENERAL MEETING

Steve Fox, president of Friends of DH Lawrence-Taos Chapter, and Daniel Cooper

Daniel Cooper and David Farmer enlightened an audience of approximately 30 people at the Friends of DH Lawrence Spring General Meeting on March 29, 2008. The meeting was held at the La Fonda Hotel on Taos Plaza which houses DH Lawrence’s “forbidden” paintings. According to their website www.lafondataos.com,  La Fonda de Taos is the only place world-wide to view nine of the thirteen paintings that were confiscated by the police in 1929 from the Dorothy Warren Gallery in London.
Daniel Cooper, like Lawrence, grew up in Nottinghamshire and attended Nottingham Boys High School. Cooper spent several months in the Taos area doing research for his upcoming book on Lawrence.
Fascinating the audience with stories of his time working with manuscripts and correspondence of Lawrence’s while at UT-Austin in the late 60s, David Farmer spoke about the University’s process of acquiring these manuscripts and his experiences working with them while editing a new edition of Women in Love for Cambridge University Press.
