D. H. Lawrence's best-known late fictions are presented in this
volume, which is dominated by two powerful novellas, The Virgin and
the Gipsy and The Escaped Cock (also known as The Man Who Died). In
the first, a young woman from a restrictive English rectory
discovers further dimensions to life through her contact with a
gipsy; in the second, an unnamed man - in fact Lawrence's vision of
Christ - is resurrected and escapes from his tomb. Both novellas
deal with the themes of escape and sexual awakening, which are
echoed in the four short stories and three fragments also collected
here. This edition restores Lawrence's final texts, before the
changes introduced by censorship, mistakes in transmission and
various other forms of interference, with variants recorded. The
introduction traces the history of the stories, while the notes
offer help with allusions, contexts and other points of potential
difficulty or interest.
