The programme’s website
This sixty minute BBC2 Culture Show special concerns D.H. Lawrence’s ‘honeymoon’ journey with Frieda Weekley across the Alps from Bavaria to Italy in the summer of 1912. The programme was made to mark the 2013 centenary of the novel, Sons and Lovers, which Lawrence finished during the winter of 1912-13 in Gargnano on Lake Garda. It traces how this journey marked Lawrence’s decisive break from England and teaching, and the beginning of his travelling life with Frieda and as a writer. His later travels in Mexico and New Mexico are also investigated.
