LAWRENCE, D. H.

Category: First Edition

Place/Publisher/Date:
London: Duckworth & Co., 1913.

Description: First edition; 8vo; original cloth boards. Half title and tipped-in title with date, 20-pages of publisher's advertisements at the end. One of the Connolly 100 Key Books of The Modern Movement. Connolly states that "Lawrence strikes out here with the mother-theme after the more rhapsodical first book The White Peacock (1911)...Lawrence is a genius whose best work has somehow to be disentangled from the propaganda department of his world reform dictatorship." Fine, some slight offsetting to the end papers. A nice copy rarely found in this condition. Roberts A4.
