Condition: Very Good
Description: Free endpapers embrowned; dustwrapper darkened at spine and edges, rather chipped and frayed, with some loss (a 30mm fragment) at head of spine. First UK edition, lacking half-title as usual (the US edition published by Mitchell Kennerley precedes), from the library of Victor Rothschild, third Baron Rothschild, a keen Lawrence collector, with his "R" shield book-label (some offsetting); 20pp. of publisher's advertisements at back. "D.H. Lawrence is one of the most significant of the new generation of writers just beginning to appear in England," declares Edwin Björkman in his introduction. "One of their chief marks is that they seem to step forward full-grown, without a history to account for their maturity. Another characteristic is that they frequently spring from social layers which in the past had to remain largely voiceless. And finally, they have all in their blood what their elders had to acquire painfully: that is, an evolutionary conception of life. Three years ago," he continues, "the author of 'The Widowing of Mrs. Holroyd' was wholly unknown, having not yet published a single work. To-day he has to his credit three novels - 'The White Peacock,' 'The Trespasser' and 'Sons and Lovers' - a collection of verse entitled 'Love Poems,' and the play contained in this volume. All of these works, but in particular the play and the latest novel, prove their author a man gifted with a strikingly original vision, a keen sense of beauty, an equally keen sense of verbal values, and a sincerity which makes him see and tell the truth where even the most audacious used to falter in the past."
