The Fox

Sharply observed and expertly constructed, D.H. Lawrence’s The Fox, written in 1923, is a captivating work exploring the dual themes of power and supremacy in the aftermath of the First World War. Banford and March live and work together on their meager farm, surviving hardship only by sheer determination and dedicated labor. The farm is their world and a place of safety – that is, until a young soldier walks in and upsets the women’s delicate status quo. None could have predicted quite the effect his presence would have on their lives.
