D. H. Lawrence's best-known late fictions are presented in this volume, which is dominated by two powerful novellas, The Virgin and the Gipsy and The Escaped Cock (also known as The Man Who Died). In the first, a young woman from a restrictive English rectory discovers further dimensions to life through her contact with a gipsy; in the second, an unnamed man - in fact Lawrence's vision of Christ - is resurrected and escapes from his tomb. Both novellas deal with the themes of escape and sexual awakening, which are echoed in the four short stories and three fragments also collected here. This edition restores Lawrence's final texts, before the changes introduced by censorship, mistakes in transmission and various other forms of interference, with variants recorded. The introduction traces the history of the stories, while the notes offer help with allusions, contexts and other points of potential difficulty or interest.

In the first book to take D. H. Lawrence's Last Poems as its starting point, Bethan Jones adopts a broadly intertextual approach to explore key aspects of Lawrence's late style. The evolution and meaning of the poems are considered in relation to Lawrence's prose works of this period, including Sketches of Etruscan Places, Lady Chatterley's Lover, and Apocalypse. More broadly, Jones shows that Lawrence's late works are products of a complex process of textual assimilation, as she uncovers the importance of Lawrence's reading in mythology, cosmology, primitivism, mysticism, astronomy, and astrology. The result is a book that highlights the richness and diversity of his poetic output, also prioritizing the masterpieces of Lawrence's mature style which are as accomplished as anything produced by his Modernist contemporaries.

This book explores the representation of visual impairment in twenty-first-century novels. It arises from new research situated within the growing field of blind studies, engaging with the scholarship of David Bolt, Julia Miele Rodas, Devon Healey, Heather Tilley and Martha Stoddard Holmes, among others. Multiple definitions of the term ‘tethering’ are employed in the exploration of relationships between disabled and non-disabled protagonists, who experience varying degrees of constraint or liberation. After a contextualising Introduction that also analyses Joseph Conrad’s The End of the Tether and Wilkie Collins’ The Dead Secret and Poor Miss Finch, each chapter focuses on a particular literary genre, beginning with biofiction before proceeding to romance and then historical fiction. These chapters consider nuanced and complex representations of sight loss (and, more briefly, hearing loss) in contemporary novels by David Lodge, Julian Barnes, Shrabani Basu, Eric Lindstrom, Lucy May Lennox and Anthony Doerr. The fictional texts discussed are recent and have received relatively little scholarly attention to date, allowing for cutting-edge analysis and response. The discussion of sight loss is informed experientially by the author's own severe visual impairment.
