    Description

    Colour Plates, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

    Originally published as 'The Escaped Cock' in 1929, and first published under this title in 1931, this is an excellent edition of D. H Lawrence's short novel about the resurrection of Christ, inspired by a visit to the Etruscan tombs undertaken by the author in the 1920s.

    In the publisher's original unclipped dust wrapper.

    With ten wood-engravings, in red and black ink, from John Farleigh. Collated, complete.

    Christ survives his crucifixion, and celebrated his body and the sensuality of the world. Lawrence explained 'he begins to find what an astonishing place the phenomenal world is, far more marvellous than any salvation or heaven — and thanks his stars he needn't have a 'mission' any more'.

    Bookplate of Barbara P Carter to front pastedown.

    Condition

    In the publisher's original quarter cloth binding with paper covered boards, and unclipped dust wrapper. Externally, fine. Bookplate to front pastedown. Discolouration to dust wrapper back strip, with wrap perimeters lightly age toned. Internally, firmly bound.
