Abstract
In December 1916, Lawrence returned to Dollie Radford a copy of Instincts of the Herd in Peace and War (1915) by Wilfred Trotter.
How curious it was that this was a human being! What Brangwen thought himself to be, how meaningless it was, confronted with the reality of him. Birkin could see only a strange, inexplicable, almost patternless collection of passions and desires and suppressions and traditions and mechanical ideas, all cast unfused and disunited into this slender, bright-faced man of nearly fifty, who was as unresolved now as he was at twenty, and as uncreated.
