Here Love Ends

JOHN WORTHEN is a biographer and historian who worked as Professor of D. H. Lawrence Studies at the University of Nottingham from 1994-2003. He is the author of critically-acclaimed biographies of D. H. Lawrence, T. S. Eliot, Robert Schumann and William Wordsworth. Most recently, he has published books on Frieda Lawrence, Henry Marten and Johannes Brahms (which is appearing in 2026).

'Worthen, author of the first volume of the Cambridge Biography of D.H. Lawrence and of the composite biography, wears his considerable learning lightly in this illuminating new take on Lawrence and 'the four' friends who came together and grew part in the years of the Great War. Required reading for readers and students of Lawrence, and of Mansfield, Here Love Ends is also a story of life during wartime that illuminates the relationship between Lawrence and Frieda and the no less formative yet fractious relationship between life and art which Lawrence explores in his own writing. Worthen is an expert if not an eye witness to the events his book so vividly recreates.' - Professor Lee Jenkins, School of English, University College, Cork'John Worthen knows more about D. H. Lawrence than anyone now living. Armed with new knowledge and fresh insights, he has returned to Lawrence's life with Frieda von Richthofen, especially as recounted by Katherine Mansfield and John Middleton Murry. Clearly written and splendidly illustrated, the result is a must read for all Lawrentians, as well as for all those interested in the love and tribulations of married life.' - David Ellis, Emeritus Professor of English, University of Kent
