The brilliant vision of place, the violent action and the rituals and myth for the new religion all combine to make it one of Lawrence's most vivid novels. The Cambridge edition establishes for the first time a meticulously edited text based on the manuscript, typescript and proof material, nearly all of which survives. Several lengthy passages rejected in the course of composition and here included in the textual apparatus offer a close look at the intricacies of Lawrence's progress toward a final conception of the novel. Full annotation and appendixes on Mexican politics and Aztec religion are also provided to assist in comprehending the often arcane concepts to which Lawrence applied his imaginative power.\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 Plumed Serpent (Quetzalcoatl)\u003cbr\u003e Explanatory notes\u003cbr\u003e Glossary of selected Spanish terms\u003cbr\u003e Textual apparatus\u003cbr\u003e Appendixes.\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":46006990045464,"sku":"9780521294225","price":39.45,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9780521294225i_008c4e87-0562-4c12-9c36-bba3ce95223c.jpg?v=1691374720","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-plumed-serpent-paperback-9780521294225","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
