Condition: Previously read, moderate to light wear.; bkcsd Book summaryThis volume includes a useful chronology and maps, as well as biographical and critical notes.Media Reviews"...A reckless, risky book that makes much of our own contemporary fiction seem over-anxious to please and impress. Its belated appearance is cause for gratitude and celebration." -- David Lodge, New Republic First LineHer very stillness, as she sat bent upon her book, gradually made him uncomfortable. Publisher NotesThis Penguin edition is the first annotated paperback publication of Lawrence's autobiographical and strikingly innovative unfinished novel. Begun in 1920, MR NOON is divided into two distinct parts, the first of which appeared in 1934 and the second of which remained unpublished until the Cambridge edition of 1984, the first publication of the novel in full. Abandoning a promising academic career at Cambridge, Gilbert Noon returns to Whetstone, where he becomes a teacher at the local technical school. His rootlessness leads him into an inept experiment of 'spoony' love with a fellow schoolteacher, Emmie Bostock. The ensuing scandal causes him to flee to Germany, where he finds true passion in his developing relationship with Johanna, the unhappily married wife of an English doctor. Other Recommended Books
