Lawrence’s first efforts were poems, short stories and a draft of ‘The White Peacock’.

O munaciello, il diavolo di Mergellina, la leggenda di Capodimonte e molti altri ancora: una Napoli esoterica, magica e circondata dalla nebbia del mito. Mancano a noi le nere foreste del Nord, le nere foreste degli abeti, cui l'uragano fa torcere i rami come braccia di colossi disperati; mancano a noi le bianchezze immacolate della neve che dànno la vertigine del candore; mancano le rocce aspre, brulle, dai profili duri ed energici; manca il mare livido e tempestoso.

La narratrice ne dispose, sur cette femme morte avant sa naissance, que de quelques légendes familiales dont les récits fluctuent. C'est à peu près tout. Les enfants d'Elisabeth ne parlent jamais de leur mère entre eux et ils n'en parlent pas à leurs enfants qui n'en parlent pas à leurs petits-enfants. "C'était un nom qu'on ne prononçait pas.

In 1794, a composite collection entitled Songs of Innocence and of Experience, containing forty-seven poems, was published.
