The Fox (Warbler Classics Annotated Edition)

The Fox is a timeless exploration of the human spirit, personal freedom, and the ever-shifting landscape of human connection. Set against the backdrop of World War I, D. H. Lawrence's The Fox explores the lives of three protagonists in a triangle of desire and dread. Nellie March and Jill Banford have built a life together on an isolated poultry farm. Their lives, disrupted only thus far by the incursions of a fox that is raiding their coops, are complicated by the arrival of Henry Grenfel, a young soldier in search of his grandfather, the now-deceased former owner of the farm. In exchange for work on the farm, he stays during his furlough, sparking a series of events that challenge societal norms and precipitate the upheaval of their lives.
