Near fine/ good-only Jisc LHD locates 7 copies (5 legal deposit libraries (except NLW/LGC), UoNottingham & Senate House Library). A rather glorious copy of this fragile and oddly attractive edition of Moore's meditation on D H Lawrence, which sold out almost immediately and within a year was "almost impossible to obtain." The elusive British author and journalist Olive Moore (pseud. of Miriam Constance Beaumont Vaughan; 1901-1979), described, variously, as an "enfant terrible of British literature," "a cross between Virginia Woolf and Djuna Barnes, but with a more biting wit," and, aptly for this title, "the female Lawrence," is perhaps best known for her sudden disappearance from the London literary scene from 1934. Recent scholarship, which has significantly swelled knowledge of her later life and work, reveals that "despite her rising success and notoriety as a novelist, Moore was clearly unhappy": "I feel on the verge of collapse; all day; I weep down streets, uncontrolled and unladylike," she wrote to the poet Rex Fairburn in 1932, the year her friends, Charles Lahr and Alec Bristow of the Red Lion Bookshop, published her Lawrence essay (Cavey, 2022). Lahr had known Lawrence well and Blue Moon Press had published the first unexpurgated edition of his final poetry collection Pansies three years earlier. 1932 saw a glut of Lawrence-related publications, the author having died in 1930. A marked departure from her earlier three novels (all published by Jarrolds), Further Reflections proved Moore's penultimate (literary) publication and was included in her final outing, the collection of pensées, The Apple is Bitten Again (Wishart, 1934), as she was "sick and tired of being quoted and plagiarised without acknowledgement". The striking photographic frontis featuring Sava Botzaris' sculpture of the author was also reproduced in The Apple Is Bitten Again (as well as being reused in the Dalkey Archive Press edition of Moore's Collected Writings (1992)). Moore had married the Serbian sculptor in 1924; they separated in the late 1930s and divorced sometime in the following decade.
