Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed in the U.S.A. First Printing. [Date from the copyright page.] Introduction; Paul Morel: Fragments; Supplement: Textual Variants; [vi], 624 pages. The original maroon cloth is in excellent shape, with gilt lettering on the spine and upper board as bright as if just issued. [Please see my five images of the actual book.] The interior is crisp and clean and free of any markings. The unclipped dust jacket has a few small tears and a number of wrinkles in the cover. [Again, see images.] "This volume consists of the complete final hand-written version of Lawrence's novel, together with six fragments from 'Paul Morel' [his earlier title for this work--almost until its publication]. The manuscript is remarkable for a number of reasons. It includes the many thousands of words, all legible, deleted by Lawrence's editor, Edward Garnett; Lawrence's own deletions, entirely legible; and, most interestingly, the many passages of Lawrence's rewriting, in which both the deleted words and the new words are almost always entirely legible. . . . A list of variants includes a number of corrections of errors still standing in current reprints of 'Sons and Lovers'." My father had a vast collection of D. H. Lawrence books--please see titles listed separately, or inquire. As with every book from my father's collection, tipped-in at the front is the small, attractive, acid-free bookplate pictured on my homepage. All books are wrapped with special care and are shipped promptly with tracking; international sales sent via global priority, also with tracking. Please note: This heavy, oversized tome will require extra postage and probably cannot be shipped internationally.…

After his election, Windrip takes complete control of the government and imposes a plutocratic/totalitarian rule with the help of a ruthless paramilitary force, in the manner of Adolf Hitler and the SS. The novel's plot centers on journalist Doremus Jessup's opposition to the new regime and his subsequent struggle against it as part of a liberal rebellion.
