BiographyHistory

'After meeting D. H. Lawrence in December 1928, P. R. Stephensen established the Mandrake Press (1929-30) - with backing from a Bloomsbury book-dealer [Edward Goldston] - to publish Lawrence's controversial paintings. As a champion of Lawrence, he took part in a spirited anti-censorship crusade, writing satirical pamphlets and arranging with Lawrence to produce a secret English edition of Lady Chatterley;s Lover.' (Craig Munro, Australian Dictionary of Biography, Volume 12, MUP, 1990, pp 70-71)
