Bu e-kitab haqqında

This early work by D.H Lawrence was originally published in 1923 and we are now republishing it with a brand new biography. Set in post-First World War Berkshire, The Fox, like many of D. H. Lawrence's other major works, deals with psychological relationships, in this case, of three protagonists in a triangle of love and hatred. Lacking help from any male labourers, Nellie March and Jill Banford struggle to maintain a marginal livelihood at the Bailey Farm. A fox has raged through the poultry, and although the women-particularly the more masculine Nellie-have tried to shoot the intruder, he seems always to elude traps or gunshot. The fox becomes a hindrance, but March finds she cannot hunt it, and rather, she becomes entranced by it. Shortly after this, Henry, a young man, comes to stay with the women, and a link is established between the fox and Henry. D.H Lawrence is an English author, poet, playwright, essayist and literary critic. His collected works represent an extended reflection upon the dehumanizing effects of modernity and industrialization. In them, Lawrence confronts issues relating to emotional health and vitality, spontaneity, human sexuality and instinct.
