    Description

    First Edition, Limited Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    The first edition thus. This work had previously been published as a limited edition in 1929 under the title 'The Escaped Cock'. Publisher Martin Secker retitled the work prior to the publication of this edition, which was released the year following Lawrence's death.

    In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.

    Limited to 2,000 unnumbered copies.

    In a letter to a friend, Lawrence explained the work with: 'I wrote a story of the Resurrection, where Jesus gets up and feels very sick about everything, and can't stand the old crowd any more — so cuts out — and as he heals up, he begins to find what an astonishing place the phenomenal world is'.
