Mr Noon is a sardonic tale about the amorous adventures of Gilbert
Noon, a young schoolmaster in Lawrence's home county of
Nottinghamshire who gets entangled with a girl, loses his job, and
decides to leave the country to escape the narrow provincial
middle-class morality. It was first known as a long story
posthumously published in A Modern Lover (1934) and collected in
the volume called Phoenix II (1968). Lawrence in fact wrote a long
continuation of the novel, but the manuscript disappeared for many
years. The Cambridge edition brought the two parts together for the
first time. It is like a sequel to Sons and Lovers, but much more
straightforwardly autobiographical. The publication of the complete
work added a new work of major importance to the canon of a great
writer, and was widely hailed as a major literary event.
