Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The White Peacock" by D. H. Lawrence is a novel published in 1911. Set in the English countryside, it follows narrator Cyril Beardsall as he observes his sister Lettie caught in a love triangle between two suitors. When she marries one man despite her attraction to another, both couples spiral toward unhappiness. Lawrence's debut novel explores mismatched marriages, the clash between rural and industrial life, and humanity's disconnection from nature, featuring vivid descriptions of the countryside and an early prototype of his later gamekeeper character.
