    Description

    First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding

    The first edition. The second issue, with integral title page, rather than the tipped in title page of the first issue.

    Lawrence's semi-autobiographical novel follows the sensitive son of a working-class family in early 20th-century England, as he struggles to forge his own identity amid the intense relationship he has with his mother, and his relationships with two women.

    While the novel initially received a tepid reception, along with allegations of obscenity, it is today considered a masterpiece by many critics and is often regarded as Lawrence's finest achievement
     
    With publisher's catalogue to the rear.

    Inscription of M. A. Macpherson to front free endpaper.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original cloth binding. A touch of shelf wear to back strip tail, otherwise externally fine. Front hinge strained to head, but firmly held. Inscription to front free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Pages bright, with the odd spot.

    Very Good
