The White Peacock
by D. H. Lawrence
Lawrence uses the language and traditions of rural tradition to bring human alienation from the natural world to the forefront, focusing on three relationships, one devastatingly stillborn, one catastrophically unfulfilled, and one unpassionately talked about. His challenge to the vanishing countryside of the English central sections, once through the eyes of Efet Cyril Beardsall, is both vivid and arresting, and while the novel draws its tragic conclusion, Lawrence develops its themes with an increasingly far-sighted force. White Peacock is both a fascinating precursor to future more famous novels and a touching and complex book in itself. it's a scorned novel and shows how Lawrence broke the form of English fiction.
