About this Item

Unique among D. H. Lawrence’s writings, The Boy in the Bush, pub­lished in 1924, is the novel he wrote in collaboration with Mollie Skinner, a native of Western Australia, who provided the background that Law­rence’s vivid and matchless prose transformed into an exciting story of adventure and romance on the Australian frontier of the 1880s. The present edition is a reprint of the Secker 1924 London edition. In his Note on the Text Matthew J. Bruccoli discusses and gives the reasons for the selection of this text, and in his Preface Harry T. Moore places the novel in per­spective in the Lawrence canon.

Book Description

Lawrence's rewriting of a tale by the part-time author Mollie Skinner, converted her production into an ambitious, powerful novel. A study of all the extant textual documents has revealed a process of composition and revision which qualifies the novel to be treated unequivocally as part of the Lawrence canon.
