Boy in the Bush

This is the first critical edition of a novel that at Lawrence's suggestion a nurse and author, Mollie Skinner, wrote about a young Englishman's reactions to late nineteenth-century Western Australia. Lawrence completely rewrote it, and Dr Eggert demonstates that it is undoubtedly Lawrentian. The reading text eliminates publishers' censorship and regularisations and miscopyings of typists and type-setters. The compositional development and the variants of the typescripts and first edition are given in the textual apparatus. Explanatory notes distinguish local and historical materials. Appendixes include maps, an outline history of the colony and two of Lawrence's essays about the collaboration, one never before printed in English.Lawrence, D. H. is the author of 'Boy in the Bush' with ISBN 9780521376778 and ISBN 0521376777.
