This is the first critical edition of The Boy in the Bush, a novel
whose unlikely genesis has been surrounded in mystery and the
subject of claim and counter-claim. A systematic study of all the
extant textual documents has revealed a process of composition and
revision which qualifies the novel to be treated unequivocally as
part of the Lawrence canon. At Lawrence's suggestion an Australian
nurse and part-time author, Mollie Skinner (whom he had met in
1922), wrote a tale set in late nineteenth-century Western
Australia about a newly-arrived young Englishman's reactions to
Perth and the outback. Lawrence's complete rewriting converted her
production into an ambitious, powerful novel. The reading text here
established eliminates all such instances of censorship and strips
away the thousands of regularisings and miscopyings introduced by
typists and typesetters. Based on Lawrence's autograph manuscript
the text meticulously incorporates his subsequent revisions in the
typescripts and proofs.
