Book Description:
D. H. Lawrence wrote these three 'novelettes' between November 1920 and December 1921. Dieter Mehl gives all three composition histories including Lawrence's wish to have them published together. There is also an appendix on the models for the two main characters and the setting of 'The Fox'.

These three novellas (each 70+/- pages) are packed with the detailed structure and depth Lawrence displayed in his masterwork novels. Each is in essence a concentrated variation of the more familiar works, exploring the interior emotions and spirits of the various characters in unconventional or transitory settings.
Though not difficult, these stories should be read slowly to appreciate everything Lawrence is conveying, from the spare dialogue, the reflected and projected emotions, ... Read More

Penguin is reissuing all of the D.H. Lawrence works in an attractive new format featuring hauntingly beautiful cover artistic works.

In " The Captain's Doll" the reader experiences a relationship that is not well-accepted by society. The Captain Hepburn and his mistress Hannele. The love in an affair is not a twosided love, usually one person ends up giving themselves more than the other person involved. Hannele questions herself throughout her relationship with the Captain and the intergery of their love. He does not want to love her and all she wants to do is love him. The story is very easy to read and short. ... Read More

I had to read this book for a literature class, and it was chosen to be our favorite by far. The discussions deepened from lesbians, co-dependancy, and control.

We may be reaching but it was interesting backing it up with the text. If you enjoy D.H. Lawrence you will love this novella.
