Lawrence and how the philosophy of yoga can be used to shed light on characters in novels, and persona in poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAustralian author David P Taylor has been an English teacher at high school level for over 40 years. He has taught some of Lawrence's works, and read others with varying degrees of interest and enjoyment.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eHe was first impelled to write about Lawrence after watching a BBC telemovie entitled The Trial Of Lady Chatterley. This was about the trial of Penguin books after they had published the first uncensored version of Lawrence's novel in the early 1960's. Having watched the programme David decided to re-read the novel, after which he then asked himself the question, if all the sex scenes, talking about sex, and thinking about it, amount to less than a quarter of the most famous novel about sex of the twentieth century, what else is it about?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAfter beginning his research David became aware of the level of involvement Lawrence had with ideas and concepts from Yoga, particularly the chakras. David's own Ph.D thesis had been centred on the way in which a number of the philosophical aspects of Yoga could be used as an analytical tool for examining character in novels and plays and persona in poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe original question David asked and the focus of his Ph.D thesis have combined to produce this ground-breaking book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e D.
