MixedThe Week (UK)This is in many ways a superb biography ... Wilson seems to have read everything related to Lawrence, and her writing about him is gloriously vivid. Yet it does have a striking \'peculiarity\': Wilson’s claim that Lawrence self-consciously “structured his life” according to the three phases—Hell, Purgatory and Paradise—of Dante’s The Divine Comedy ... As well as being inherently unconvincing, this theory...rather spoils what is in other ways an engaging and accomplished biography.
