Book Description:
This is an autobiographical novel – more or less a sequel to Sons and Lovers. The first part appeared as a short story in 1934; the second, larger part was never published. Mr Noon was first published in its entirety in 1984, and was widely hailed as a major literary event.
From the Back Cover:
This Penguin edition is the first annotated paperback publication of Lawrence's autobiographical and strikingly innovative unfinished novel. Begun in 1920, Mr Noon is divided into two distinct parts, the first of which appeared in 1934 and the second of which remained unpublished until the Cambridge edition of 1984, the first publication of the novel in full. Abandoning a promising academic career at Cambridge, Gilbert Noon returns to Whetstone, where he becomes a teacher at the local technical school. His rootlessness leads him into an inept experiment of 'spoony' love with a fellow schoolteacher, Emmie Bostock. The ensuing scandal causes him to flee to Germany, where he finds true passion in his developing relationship with Johanna, the unhappily married wife of an English doctor.

Book Description Trade Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 382 Pages. This is the Cambridge Edition of the text of Mr Noon now correctly established from the original sources and first published in 1984. This is a reprint of the 1985 edition published in England by Granada. .The Appendix contains Maps, Note on the Text, and Chronology. Minor moisture stains at top of last ten pages. Front cover has edge wear and turned up corner. Introduction by Melvyn Bragg. Edited by Lindeth Vasey. This is Lawrence's autobiographical novel of a young man's emotional and sexual awakening. For decades Mr. Noon was known only as a long short story in which Gilbert Noon, a young schoolmaster and one of Lawrence's alter egos, becomes entangled with a young girl and loses his job. It ends with Gilbert deciding to leave the stifling morality of his provincial village. But Gilbert's story was continued in a manuscript that was lost until 1972. In it he travels to German and falls in love with a married woman, clearly modeled on Frieda Lawrence, and elopes with her to Italy. In some ways it is a sequel to Sons and Lovers.
