Publisher's Synopsis
The Fox is a novella by D.H. Lawrence, first published in 1923. The story is set on a farm in rural England during World War I and revolves around the lives of three main characters: two women, Banford and March, and a man named Henry Grenfel. Banford and March are close friends who live together on the farm. Grenfel is a soldier who comes to stay with them on leave from the war. The three of them form a complex love triangle, with Banford and March both falling in love with Grenfel. The story explores themes of love, jealousy, and betrayal, as well as the changing roles of women in society during the early 20th century. The Fox is considered a masterpiece of modernist literature and is known for its psychological depth and complex characterizations.She took her gun again and went to look for the fox. For he had lifted his eyes upon her, and his knowing look seemed to have entered her brain. She did not so much think of him: she was possessed by him. She saw his dark, shrewd, unabashed eye looking into her, knowing her. She felt him invisibly master her spirit. She knew the way he lowered his chin as he looked up, she knew his muzzle, the golden brown, and the greyish white. And again she saw him glance over his shoulder at her, half inviting, half contemptuous and cunning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
