Description
Mr Noon is a sardonic tale about the amorous adventures of Gilbert Noon, a young schoolmaster in Lawrence's home county of Nottinghamshire who gets entangled with a girl, loses his job, and decides to leave the country to escape the narrow provincial middle-class morality.
It was first known as a long story posthumously published in A Modern Lover (1934) and collected in the volume called Phoenix II (1968).
Lawrence in fact wrote a long continuation of the novel, but the manuscript disappeared for many years.
The Cambridge edition brought the two parts together for the first time.
It is like a sequel to Sons and Lovers, but much more straightforwardly autobiographical.
The publication of the complete work added a new work of major importance to the canon of a great writer, and was widely hailed as a major literary event.
