Focusing on the triangular relationship between George, a young farmer, the lively yet destructive Lettie, and Leslie Tempest, son of the local landowner and mineowner, Lawrence explores the failure of love and marriage to coincide and the profound internal and interpersonal influences that cause unhappiness. Full of vivid natural descriptions and poetic sensitivity to art and nature, The White Peacock is a powerful forerunner of his major works.
