\n6023√43h  \n# THE WHITE PEACOCK\n\nINTRODUCTION BY RICHARD ALDINGTON  \nTHERE is a special interest in the first books of world-famous men.Few readers can be so unimaginativeas not to think of the time when such a book wasbeing written by its utterly unknown author,thehopes and fears put into it,the disappointments atits first reception,its seeming lapse into oblivion,andslow revival as its author gradually fought his way,through prejudices and indifference,to fame.  \nD.H.Lawrence was very young and very obscurewhen he began the first draft of this book in theautumn of I906.He was then at NottinghamUniversity,doing a two-year course,preparatory totaking his certificate as an elementary school-teacher.He had reached the University by his own efforts,for his father,a coal-miner with five children,couldnot possibly have afforded to send him there unaided.Lawrence was an exceptionally clever lad at school.When he sat for the open King's Scholarship heamazed his friends by coming out in the FirstDivision of the First Class,and but for the break-down in his health he could have had a distinguishedacademic career.  \nThe White Peacock,written and re-written threeor four times during the leisure hours and holidays ofthree years,grew wholly from his experiences of lifein the Midlands.From the very beginning of his  \n# INTRODUCTION\n\nliterary career he showed originality and disregardfor literary fashion,which at that time was all for\"form\"in the novel with corresponding emptiness ofmatter.To Lawrence the writing of a novel wasneither the artistic presentation of an invented storynor a mere piece of exciting entertainment—it wasan “adventure of the mind”,above all it aimed atputting the reader in touch with actual life.Heabhorred any kind of\"formula\"writing,and hisso-called faults are mostly due to this passionatedetermination to be true to life as he experienced it.For the same reason his books usually end quietly,almost indeterminately—for the slick or dramaticending must nearly always be false to life.  \nBearing this in mind the reader will be prepared forthe fact that The White Peacock is no artfully con-structed work of fiction.It is a portion of Lawrence'syouth imaginatively reconstructed,though it is notan autobiographical novel,like Sons and Lovers.These are the places and people among whom hegrew up.If the book has a serious fault,it is due tothe author's shyness and self-mistrust which led himto take working-class characters and give them amiddle-class veneer.The best scenes are those whenthe young man forgets his pseudo-gentility,and givesus the life at Strelley Mill farm and the Ram Innwithout any attempt to make it middle class.  \nWhat was he trying to do in this oddly mis-namedWhite Peacock which has nothing to do withpeacocks,white or blue-green,and everything to dowith English people of the soil and of the mine of halfa century ago?Lawrence was a very complex andself-contradictory person,in whom
