In his first novel, written at age twenty-five, D. H. Lawrence’s gifts as a storyteller are on full display. The White Peacock explores the impact of industrialism on Lawrence’s beloved countryside from the viewpoint of the educated and cultured Cyril Beardsall, as well as themes of failure-bound marriages and the limbo between the city and the country.
A propos de l’auteur
D. H. Lawrence (1885-1930) was a prolific man of letters whose novels were famous for their frank depiction of human sexuality and scathing criticism of modernity. Reviled by the literary establishment during his life, he is now regarded as one of England’s greatest writers, and his novels, especially Lady Chatterly’s Lover and Sons and Lovers, have been recognized as masterpieces.
