A systematic study of all the extant textual documents has revealed a process of composition and revision which qualifies the novel to be treated unequivocally as part of the Lawrence canon. At Lawrence's suggestion an Australian nurse and part-time author, Mollie Skinner (whom he had met in 1922), wrote a tale set in late nineteenth-century Western Australia about a newly-arrived young Englishman's reactions to Perth and the outback. Lawrence's complete rewriting converted her production into an ambitious, powerful novel. The reading text here established eliminates all such instances of censorship and strips away the thousands of regularisings and miscopyings introduced by typists and typesetters. Based on Lawrence's autograph manuscript the text meticulously incorporates his subsequent revisions in the typescripts and proofs.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eGeneral editor's preface\u003cbr\u003e Acknowledgements\u003cbr\u003e Chronology\u003cbr\u003e Cue-titles\u003cbr\u003e Introduction\u003cbr\u003e The Boy in the Bush\u003cbr\u003e Appendixes\u003cbr\u003e Explanatory notes\u003cbr\u003e Textual apparatus\u003cbr\u003e A note on pounds, shillings and pence.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: fiction, novelists \u0026amp; prose writers\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20fiction,%20novelists%20\u0026amp;%20prose%20writers%20%5BDSK%5D%22\"\u003eDSK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46006147809560,"sku":"9780521007146","price":38.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521007146i_20f780c6-4704-46c8-a5c5-af75882e7c77.jpg?v=1691376565","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-boy-in-the-bush-paperback-9780521007146","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
