Description
D.H. Lawrence's early work, originally published in 1923, is now reissued with a new biography. Set against the backdrop of post-First World War Berkshire, this novel explores complex relationships and the psychological effects of modernity. At the Bailey Farm, two women, Nellie March and Jill Banford, struggle to maintain a livelihood without male labourers. A fox has invaded their poultry, and despite their efforts to hunt it down, the animal seems always to evade capture. As they try to cope with this unexpected threat, a young man named Henry arrives at the farm, establishing a connection between the fox and himself. This novel is part of D.H. Lawrence's oeuvre, which reflects on the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. It confronts issues related to emotional health, vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality, and instinct, offering a thought-provoking exploration of these themes.
