Lawrence's first novel The White Peacock was begun in 1906,
rewritten three times, and published in 1911. The Cambridge edition
uses the final manuscript as base-text, and faithfully recovers
Lawrence's words and punctuation from the layers of publishers'
house-styling and their errors; original passages, changed for
censorship reasons, are reinstated. Andrew Robertson's introduction
sets out the history of Lawrence's writing and revision, and the
generally favourable reception by friends and reviewers. Lawrence
incorporated much of his own experience and reading on to the novel
which is set just north-east of Eastwood, and modelled characters
on his friends and family. The notes identify real-life places and
people, explain dialect forms, literary allusions, and historical
references, and include sensitive passages deleted before
publication. The textual apparatus records all the variant readings
and the appendix prints the two surviving fragments from the
earliest manuscripts of the novel, then entitled 'Laetitia'.
