Twilight in Italy, therefore, stands halfway and represents the transcendent success. As a result, the sequence of these books should be seen in relation to Lawrence’s inner development: his mood gets worse and worse , from hope to despair as he carries on writing his books. A change of mental attitude is particularly obvious in the rainbow and the crown. In fact, when Lawrence modifies the latter, he has the redrafting of the former in his mind. Similarly, he has already written the first text of twilight in Italy during the new elaboration of the rainbow.
A similar continuity permeates the wartime philosophical writings: they could be viewed as a constant evolution related to Lawrence’s own consciousness. In this respect, twilight in Italy represents a fundamental step undertaken by the author in search of a transcending knowledge.
