Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Take a mining townlet like Woodhouse, with a population of ten thousand people, and three generations behind it. This space of three generations argues a certain well-established society. The old "County" has fled from the sight of so much disembowelled coal, to flourish on mineral rights in regions still idyllic. Remains one great and inaccessible magnate, the local coal owner: three generations old, and clambering on the bottom step of the "County," kicking off the mass below. Rule him out. A well established society in Woodhouse, full of fine shades, ranging from the dark of coal-dust to grit of stone-mason and sawdust of timber-merchant, through the lustre of lard and butter and meat, to the perfume of the chemist and the disinfectant of the doctor, on to the serene gold-tarnish of bank-managers, cashiers for the firm, clergymen and such-like, as far as the automobile refulgence of the general-manager of all the collieries.

Download or read book The Lost Girl written by David Herbert Lawrence and published by . This book was released on 1921 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lost Girl tells the story of Alvina Houghton, the daughter of a draper in the industrial Midlands, who meets a penniless young Italian in a touring variety act and, responding to his dark, animal nature, gradually, almost reluctantly, falls in love with him. Finally, she abandons her provincial security, they marry impulsively, and he returns to Italy with her to live in a bleak mountain village. The novel is thematically close to Lady Chatterley's Lover, promoting, as that book does, the idea that human intelligence has no value when it is cut off from the sensual life.
