2.0 out of 5 stars
Only for Lawrence die-hards,
By A Customer
This review is from: The White Peacock: Cambridge Lawrence Edition (Twentieth Century Classics) (Paperback)
This was Lawrence's first published novel in the UK, and represents the writer's early experiment in the quest for an established style. Far too much descriptive detail, and too little narrative, to be considered an enjoyable read. It is however interesting to note the early appearance of themes that were to dominate later Lawrence works. In particular, the nature-civilisation dichotomy, which became a Lawrence trademark, is apparent here in the relationship between the cultured, educated narrator and his best friend, the raw-boned but affable farmer, George. Readers wishing to introduce themselves to Lawrence would be better advised to start with the book published two years later, and that marked the beginning of his literary reputation: "Sons and Lovers" |
