The White Peacock, Lawrence's first novel, is a compelling exploration of the estrangements of modern life. Focusing on three relationships, he exploits the language and conventions of the rural tradition to illuminate man's alienation from the natural world. David Bradshaw's innovative Introduction challenges received ideas about the work and reassesses this often underrated novel to show how Lawrence, even in his first work, was already breaking the mold of English fiction.

Book Description:
The Cambridge edition of Lawrence's first novel The White Peacock uses the final manuscript to faithfully recover Lawrence's words and punctuation from the layers of publishers' house-styling and their errors. Andrew Robertson's introduction sets out the history of Lawrence's writing and revision, and the novel's generally favourable reception.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Very Good. `Like a tree that is falling, going soft and pale and rotten, clammy with small fungi, he stood leaning against the gate, while the dim afternoon drifted with a flow of thick sweet sunshine past him, not touching him.' Lawrence's first novel is a compelling exploration of the estrangements of modern life. Focusing on three relationships - one destructively stillborn, one disastrously unfulfilling and one passionately unspoken - Lawrence exploits the language and conventions of the rural tradition to foreground man's alienation from the natural world. His evocation of the vanishing countryside of the English midlands, as soon through the eyes of the effete Cyril Beardsall, is both vivid and arresting, and as the novel draws towards its tragic conclusion Lawrence handles his themes with an increasingly visionary power. The White Peacock is both a fascinating precursor of the more famous novels to come and a moving and challenging book in its own right. In his introduction to this edition David Bradshaw reassesses this often underrated novel, and shows how Lawrence was already breaking the mould of English fiction. This book is intended for a-Level/last year at high school; undergraduate - courses on D. H. Lawrence; The Novel; Modernism; The Twentieth-Century Novel. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR004951969
